After iGoogle is iGone

Posted in 2.0, RSS on Jul 6th, 2012

I  clicked through the link for password assistance.  With horror I realized Gmail would use my secondary account to help me retrieve my password, and that account [...]

Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 23rd, 2008

Dear Jane (and anyone else interested,) My school email is wonky, not allowing me to “send” from it tonight, so I wanted to use my gmail account to reply. You say you read my blog, so hopefully you’ll read why I cannot respond with a personalized message tonight. But hello, and I miss very much [...]
