Google’s at it again… Search is Number Two Online Activity – Email is Number One; “Heck, Yeah,” Say Google Founders MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – April 1, 2004 UTC – Amidst rampant media speculation, Google Inc. today announced it is testing a preview release of Gmail – a free search-based webmail service with a storage capacity of up to eight billion bits of information, the equivalent of 500,000 pages of email.

Tonight there was a Taize’ service at Holy Moly, preceded by a simple potluck dinner that included soup, bread, and salads. I contributed an Asian salad thingy that turned out pretty well, and I’ll forget what I did (and what I could do better for the next time) if I don’t get it down. I took it in a large covered salad bowl, which worked out great for mixing, transporting AND serving.

Well, the link is live at AirAmericaRadio.Com, but they’re apparently operating under radio silence. However, it requires RealPlayer (rats!1) and of course it’s nagging me to update my version of same. Ugh. And it’s NOT going to be the default player for anything. So now after updating my apparently totally useless former version of Real Player, I can hear commercials, but no talk once they’re finished. This is probably not a good sign. Somebody’s head will be rolling merrily along soon. Edited to add:It seems to be working now. Okay. Maybe I’ll listen now and then at work… but I’ll…
