gmail... again

Less than 5 minutes after I posted a plea for a gmail.com account, someone had emailed me offering to let me in. WOW! That's some fast service.

That said, gmail is AWESOME. It's fast and I like the threaded nature of it. Its clean interface makes it a true pleasure to use for anyone - experienced or new. And you CAN delete things - you aren't required to keep them around - although I'm not sure why you'd want to with 1Gb of email storage space.

This is a neat concept. I had to go ahead and post a swap request, although I'm sure no one will take me up on my offer.

You know, with all the hype about gmail's privacy concerns, no one ever mentions the fact that as long as your mail goes through a provider, anyone in the IT department can look at your mail at any time. It might as well be someone who you kind of trust - google, perhaps.

Opening Day

Today is the first day of the rest of your life... or something like that.

I'm sitting at work in my cubicle looking out over Lake Erie. Not much to see really, as it's kind of foggy today. Not the kind of fog where you can't see across the street, but the haze that accompanies Buffalo when it's humid and just icky outside. It'd be tons better if the heavens would just open up and let loose the rains upon the area. I guess that's supposed to happen at various times over the weekend, though.

Brian and I are looking at houses. I think it's interesting that a "mobile home" in a trailer park can have vaulted ceilings, decks out the wazoo, and be generally bigger than a "static home." Anyone wish to comment on that?
