Why CSS Multi-Columns aren't ready for prime time
Of the upcoming CSS3 modules that are coming into common use: selectors, borders, text etc, the multi-column layout module interests me the most.

If you're like me, with an eye on Google Reader even over the holidays, you won't have failed to notice the upcoming Apple event at which the Apple touch-screen tablet, likely to be called iSlate or the Slate, will be announced.

I've started using Google Wave recently (thanks to a colleague of mine, James McQuarrie) and up-front, I'll say that I don't get it. I currently don't see the usefulness of it in my current situation (I'm working in a team that's all in the same room). However, I got an invite to the Google Technology Users Group (#gtug) talk on Wave by the Wave developers themselves so I thought I'd go along and see what all the fuss was about.
