Why I love technology

Where else could you learn about this? http://ask.yahoo.com/20060210.html don't worry, it's not racy..but it's still interesting. Another reason to be thankful for advertising. Sex sells!

Here's my soapbox moment now. Get Gmail. If you don't have it yet..get it now. The spam filters are the best out there..the organization possibilities are the best to keep and record and track all your old emails, the RSS feeds are great. This is where you can put automatic links from the top/most current news story on the sites you normally visit and updates them regularly. So you can just go to one place and quickly browse all the info that you are interested in knowing from the web quickly and easily. I find myself browsing thru my RSS feeds on gmail a few times a day at work..i've noticed it really cuts down on my net surfing time. Heck, you can even use my blog as one! They have their tool bar and side bars..which, I don't use yet...so I don't have much of an opinion on them..however, the gmail notifier is nice..it's a little envelope in the corner of your screen and when you get new mail, it highlights the message and tells you who it's from, the subject, the first sentence..so you can go out and there and check the whole thing if you like instanty...and SOON...they are integrating google talk with gmail. Which means, no additional things to download..like aol or yahoo..when you go to gmail, you can just click on someone's name and start talking to them live..no additional applets! Plus, you can save your chats if you want! Plus, you can search your emails or the web with a click of the button..man, they own the world.

Good stuff...i was reminded of another cool link that i haven't mentioned in awhile.. Pandora.com it used to be 10 free hours..now it's totally free forever. Great stuff..pick a song, sit back and enjoy...it selects the songs "similar" to the song you inputted..so it's like one huge song sampler.
