I’ve been a fan of Google’s web-based e-mail service Gmail pretty since it started in private beta.
Since the service’s humble beginnings as an improvement on the way we used web mail, many new features have been added, some neat and some pretty useless.
However, they’ve just one new nifty feature to save us from ourselves.
Enter Mail [...]

Gmail saves us from drunk e-mails
Best web ad ever!
I will say nothing more and simply supply the link:

The lack of decent political games
I don’t get it. There are two election campaigns going on right now (Canada and U.S.) which should be making for oodles of amusing web-based games satirizing politics but quite frankly, I’m finding the selection pretty bland.
Lets take Death By 1000 Cold Cuts for example. In the response to Tory Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz’s ill-timed [...]
Infomercial 2.0?
I see a lot of scary stuff on the Internet on a fairly regular basis, but this really ranks up there:
Yes, the right half of the screen shows you the kind of goatee a REAL man is supposed to have while the left half contains an embedded video showing off the really creepy thing you [...]
Rumors are stupid
And so are online music subscriptions.
So The Unofficial Apple Weblog received an anonymous tip that Apple is set to announce a subscription service for iTunes.
To TUAW’s credit, they state right at the beginning of their post that this is probably B.S. Unfortunately, even with that preface, that rumor is now spreading across the intertubes. [...]
Wait, that’s $400 WITH a contract?!?
Setting: An average Rogers store. Center stage is the iPhone podium while stage right and back hold displays of various GSM phones. Stage left is a sales counter, behind which stands Sales Dude.
Me: Excuse me, how much for the Blackberry Bold?
Sales Dude: That’ll be four-hundred dollars.
Me: Wow, I can swing that.
Sales Dude: Alright, let me [...]
Weekend Time Waster: Nanobots
I’m a huge fan of the Lucas Games and Sierra OnLine style point-and-click adventures have frankly found video games in general lacking since the genre’s apparent demise sometime in the late ’90s.
Fortunately, it seems there are always independent developers who are willing to take nostalgic desire all the way to revive lost art forms.
So, for [...]
A journalist is me
I figured at some point, the thrill of being published would go away.
Fortunately, it seems that is not the case, as I was certainly excited to see my first piece for The Escapist go live this morning. Stumbling into the Kingdom of Loathing is the story of how an online browser-based RPG based around [...]
The accidental Linux user
A funny thing happened when I installed a new hard drive last week. I ended up switching to Linux.
I realize that’s kind of like saying I accidentally walked in a Buddhist temple and now I’m a convert, but it happened.
After popping a new hard drive in my trusty laptop, I reinstalled Windows XP then once [...]
Who do they think they’re fooling?
While clearing out my spam folder (I always do a quick check for false positives) one actually caught my eye. It was addressed directly to me, using my correct name, not just my e-mail address. It was announcing some kind of new search engine, who will not be named as I do not wish to [...]
