Gee-Mail
My first impression of Gmail, Google's email service currently in a beta test to select Internet cognoscenti like myself, is that it is the third Musketeer in paper, scissors, and rocks. It's fast, well-designed, and comes with a gigabyte of space.
You need an invite to get an account. I got mine by begging a stranger, but Pancake City is a place of dignity, so if you want an account just let me know in the comments. I have six invites, but since this site only has five readers that shouldn't be a problem.

Brother, Can You Spare a Job?
In their cartoon, "Brother, Can You Spare a Job?", Tom Neely and Greg Saunders have done a superb job of capturing the depression era of the '20s and '30s via old-fashioned cartoon antics and the use of period music.
Okay, that's from their press release. I'm too lazy to come up with my own description. But it's extremely well done and worth watching, even though the message isn't novel.

James Brown is the Godfather of...?
I stumbled upon a "Last 100 questions asked" page of a natural language search engine. A smattering:
* who is kane (followed a few questions later by) "who is kane the wrestler"
* What primary colors do you mix to make orange?
* (A funny question about porn there's no way I'm repeating)
* why does a cow produce white milk
* WHAT WORDS END IN GRY?
* Is Richard Stallman a dirty Gnu hippy ?
* Which president made the swivel chair?
* How can I determine the sex of my baby?
* Who invented the paper clip?
* What are some different sexual positions we can try?

Which Presidential Candidate Is Right For You?
Answer a short series of questions and find out which Presidential candidate is right for you. According to the quiz, my two candidates are Dennis Kucinich (100%) and Howard Dean (99%). These picks are probably accurate, although I have a few disagreements with both candidates. George W. Bush, making a strong showing, edged out Howard Phillips (Constitution party) and Lyndon LaRouche ("Prepare for the RevoLaRouchian!").
Send me an email with your results so I can have another reason to like or hate you. (Just kidding. The lens I use to look at people is only made up of important things: size of tail fin on car, favorite breakfast cereal marshmallow, number of vowels in name...)
