I have never had as much bird crap on my car as I do in FL. What do they feed the birds down here? Nachos and beer?
Anybody know if Gmail has import tools for .Mac mail? Like they do for Yahoo and Live/Hotmail?

Played with a 3GS @ Apple Store today. I don't have a good baseline for the 3G, but the 3GS sure has snappy performance - unlike Palm Pre.

Anybody out there have any recommendation for a CD ripping service. Need to have high-quality tagging and MP3 320 support.
Even the touch screen seemed a bit wonky. Didn't seem to give quick response to touches.
Just played with a Palm Pre at a Sprint Store. Ver slick looking device, but not very snappy performance. Seconds before response in some cases.

Saw "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" today. Expected standard popcorn thriller fare, but was pleasantly surprised. Very well done.

Itching to get my hands on Google Wave. As an early adopter and power user of Gmail, I *must* get dibs on a preview invite. :-)

IMHO counting words in English language is a fool's errand. The language is in constant flux- can't be pinned down to a single number.
New words - Web 2.0, n00b, cloud computing, carbon neutral, Jai Ho... These aren't even words! English is devolving.
Seriously? "Web 2.0" is the millionth word in the English language? I'll wait until it appears in the OED.
I'm in the wrong business. I need to open a Chick-Fil-A. Drive-in line wraps all the way around the bldg at 1:30pm.
