My new blog, called Plug In, is an "(almost) daily exploration of the Web, technology and how they impact our culture." What makes this blog different for me is that updating it is now part of my job.

I didn't actually start blogging until a year later but I was a "blogger" back in the early days. Oh yeah, another cool point for goodhttp://www.webraw.com/blog/2004_05_01_export_archive.php#108553375354973368 Gmail Review- May 26, 2004 Well, I've had a bit of experience with Gmail so here's my humble addition to the horde of reviews. 1.

I am still testing it out for my "big review" (to add to the hundreds of other reviews) but an idea just hit me like a thunderclap yesterday. More on my idea in a bit. Anyway, with every Gmail "beta-membership" you get two "invites."

I must inject some of my political frustration here, just for a moment. I'm absolutely SICK of all the Democrats "Don't Vote for Nader" campaign. Republicans did something similar when Perot ran and it drove me nuts then too.http://www.webraw.com/blog/2004_05_01_export_archive.php#108501139833782579 What I've been up to lately- May 10, 2004 Well, as you may or may not know I've been spending a LOT of time at my other site, Quixtar Blog.
