Does anyone know where the google wave toolbar is? I'm trying to use some gadgets, but I can't figure out how to get them into my wave. The help page says to drag them from the toolbar, but I don't see one.

I need to put both a CD track and an MP3 file onto a CD, to be played I assume on a boom box. I would just buy the MP3 song on a damn disc, but there's some time pressure as this is for an impending funeral. There seem to be 5,000 conversion programs out there -- any suggestions?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Wow. T-Mobile and Danger, the Microsoft-owned subsidiary that makes the Sidekick, has just announced that they’ve likely lost all user data that was being stored on Microsoft’s servers due to a server failure. That means that any contacts, photos, calendars, or to-do lists that haven’t been locally backed up are gone.

Microsoft doesn't back up its data? That's potentially problematic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did someone stick a fridge magnet on the server again?

Here's a comment on the engadget page about the story:
If tmobile thinks that they can buy me off with a 19.99 credit after losing every phone # contact i gathered for the last 3-5 years of my life they are sorely mistaken. Class actions here we come. Goodbye tmobile, goodbye sidekick. This is more than unacceptable. Other then this post i am absolutely speechless from rage.

My boss' non-work phone is a Sidekick. Luckily she's got everything backed up at home.
