In order to be a blogger, in order to have IM, one must discuss Gmail. So it is written. So shall it be done.

Apart from this, my day’s been crap.

SB: What’s this Gmail everyone’s so crazy over?
CG: Google’s e-mail service. Searchable. 1000MB of storage.
SB: And this is free?
CG: Yup.
SB: I haven’t any need of it so far as I can tell.
CG: Yeah, but it’s the cool kids’ club. Well, not really. I’m in, so it must not be.
SB: I suppose if I had no way of transporting huge documents, I might want an email that can handle it. But then most docs of that size I wouldn’t want to be going through a service that is likely to be watched by all the wrong people.
CG: Yeah. You should transmit the porn some other way.
SB: I could care less if some cyberspy saw me moving pr0n over email. But MP3s (which are the only things I can think of that most people want that much email space for)…danger, Will Robinson.
CG: True.
SB: *shrug* Like I said, there are lots of tech things that I have no use for. Palm Pilots for one.
CG: I’m with you there. I have a low-tech one. It’s called a notebook.
SB: I guess I’ll take one, if you’re giving them out. I may come up with a use for it, I suppose. May as well get a username I like.
CG: As soon as I get an invite, you’re in.
SB: Sorry if i’m not very enthusiastic. I do appreciate it though. You could have made $5-10 instead.
CG: Oh, no worries. I don’t really know what I’ll use it for, either. But I have it. It’s not the having, really, so much as the getting.
SB: I guess it’s not technically clutter, since it just sits there as a magnetic field, instead of a physical piece of detritus. Like an unused Bowflex or something.
CG: But with less laundry-holding features.
SB: Another bloggable IM courtesy of Czelticgril.
CG: Well, at least someone’s blog is getting love these days. Sure ain’t mine.
SB: We need to get your blog laid.

  1. This will be especially true tomorrow. My poor little blog.

  2. You’re going to get flooded with invite requests now. Sorry about that.

    After all, with your blog being so neglected, where will our millions of readers turn but to the Buddha? So, expect a mail clog pretty soon.

  3. CG: Yeah, but it’s the cool kids’ club. Well, not really. I’m in, so it must not be.

    Since I’m the one who invited CG, I’m trying to decide if that makes me more or less cool. Less, I’m thinking.
