friday free for all
or: Google is my digital-lifemate.
… Last night, at Grumpy’s, I attended my first “tweetup“. It was entertaining. Pretty sure I’ll do it again. Nice to be among a crowd of digital dorks, like myself. Speaking of…
… My Gmail inbox is sort of my digital enclave. I redecorate constantly and reside there daily. I have my documents, my calendar, my AIM/gchat and a theme. I’m also a bit of a filter slut, organizing and reorganizing my labels, directing traffic.
So I pissed myself (just a bit) when Google read my mind, creating multiple inboxes. Over the course of the day I’ll be refining filters and adjusting labels. Because I lead a sheltered, nerd-centric, physically attractive life.
… Screw it, let’s dry-hump Google some more:
Latitude? Passive observation (read: creepy) but has privacy settings more advanced than other geo-locator programs. (Can select, by friend, if they see nothing, citywide, or best location; can hide your location globally.) Also, it stores only your latest location.
Mobile Books? I like the idea (it’s FREE!). I don’t have a cool kid phone so I can’t say I’ve tried it for its intended use but it works in a standard browser too (if impossible to read because it scales width). Seems a good travel companion for those with mobile interweb that want more features than the Kimble can sort out.
It even remembers what page you’re on under the “My Books” section. (Which is nice.)
