Anyone taking guesses on how long it will take for PETA to complain about the unethical treatment of innocent birds caused by launching the space shuttle?
I mean come on folks, this bird was just innocently flying to/from home for the winter when all of a sudden WHAM!!!
Kind of reminds me of a joke, what was the last thing that went through the bird’s mind before it died? His rear-end!
I’ve been very happy with my Gmail account and been using it for quite sometime now, ever since I got an invite from my good friend Ryan, thanks Ryan!
There’s UNLIMITED storage space and they do an excellent job of eliminating SPAM from my Inbox. The unique structure of Gmail eliminates the standard organizing component of folders. Instead, messages are “tagged” with topics. All messages all remain in one of 3 places: 1.) Inbox, 2.) Archive, or 3.) Trash. With the unlimited storage space none of these ever HAVE to be deleted, but I do just to keep things tidy. If you know something is trash, why keep it?
The standard feature of setting up rules is available for systematically tagging and moving messages. Even forwarding and automatically archiving items.
You can also setup Gmail to work with your preferred email client via POP accessibility.
Another nice feature is that since you don’t have delete messages, it keeps threads of messages together for later reference for additional messages in the thread. Although this would be similar to just including the contents of a message in any replies. Gmail eliminates the need to do this as all the messages in the thread are tiled for quick access chronologically to review the history of the thread.
And of course, given that the service is provided by Google, the ability to quickly search all of your e-mail or the web is easily, and efficiently done.
I currently have 7 email addresses that I manage: 2 POP3, Hotmail, Yahoo!, Gmail, AIM, and Juno. For all the features, Gmail is my preferred e-mail address, but I still maintain each of them for different purposes.
If you’d like to have a Gmail account of your own, just leave comments to this post with your e-mail address and I’ll send you an invite.
I’m a huge Michael Crichton fan, still need to get started on “State of Fear”.
This movie was actually a pretty good representation of the original book. Normally this doesn’t occur, i.e. “Sphere”.
It’s been quite awhile since I read Timeline, but I believe the movie followed the storyline pretty well. It’s always interesting to see a movie after reading the book, especially when the images on the screen match the mental set you constructed yourself in your imagination when reading the book.

Oh, what I wouldn’t give for some Google stock, well, I guess I could make it easy and just give someone $300 and I could have some. Point is I don’t have $300, so when I say “what I wouldn’t give” I mean, I wonder what I could give that I actually have that would get me some Google stock.
Anyway, saw today that Google has updated their “Personalized Homepage” feature with the ability to add content via RSS feeds. This is an excellent update, but what I’m wishing they would do is not just give me the headlines, but also the entire feed. Until that happens, I’ll be sticking with Bloglines.
[Stepping on Soapbox] For all of you blog publishers, don’t just let me grab a “clip” of your posting via your RSS feed. Having to click to visit your site to read the rest of the story is still one of my #1 pet peeves!
