I don’t know why anyone would choose another e-mail system. I love GMail. I’ll say it again, I love Gmail. It is by far the pimp of e-mails. I can do anything with my GMail account. I can create and save documents to it, put events on my calendar and send out invites to those events, I can easily put up my photo albums via Picasa (another thing I love) and I can chat online with my fellow GMail buddies and AOL buddies.

How sick is that?

It also blocks spam and automatically deletes it after 30 days.  Not to mention it auto-saves my e-mails and docs. I just can’t say enough about it.  Well, maybe if I could set my DVR from my Gmail account.

Hmmmm….

So you’re watching Batman Begins and you see the guy who plays the Scarecrow, and you think “That guy is pretty, where have I seen him before?” IMDB. You’re watching the Superbowl and you see the 18th preview for the Sarah Connor Chronicles and you think “I recognize that gap in her teeth, where have I seen her before?” IMDB. You’re watching the bootleg version of Juno that you just got and you think “I’m in love with Michael Cera, I wonder what his next movie is and how I can start stalking him.” OK, so maybe you don’t think that, but the answer is still IMDB.

In case you didn’t want to go to IMDB:

• The Scarecrow from Batman Begins is Cillian Murphy. You also know him from 28 Days Later, Redeye, and Cold Mountain (he’s the soldier that tries to cover Natalie Portman’s baby with a blanket, but she kills him anyway).
• The gap in the Sarah Connor Chronicles is Lena Headey. You know her as the queen of Sparta in 300 (I may have known her instantly if I saw her nipples).
• Michael Cera’s next movie is Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist, which also stars Kat Dennings. You know her as the teenage daughter in 40-Year Old Virgin, which cameoed Jonah Hill who was Seth in Superbad with Michael Cera!

OK, I’m out of breath. Now do you see why I love IMDB so much? I’m still tingling with excitement.

iGoogle is my homepage and they have this nifty “How To” window. Every day I can find a random assortment of how to’s. The following is an actual list of some of the suggestions (and I’ve actually looked them up): how to survive a volcanic eruption, how to knit an illusion sweater, how to make lip gloss, how to be romantic, how to get a hot girlfriend (rule #1: be hygenic) and my favorite, how to be indie (my guess is if you want to be indie, you shouldn’t go looking at a how to guide).

I wonder if there is a how to article on how to write a how to article…
