The da Vinci Code

A couple weeks ago, I was flying to Alabama, and I needed some airplane reading, so I broke out The DaVinci Code for a second read. I read 3/4 of it on the plane, and now I am finishing it today. But the point of this is not to share my reading habbits. My point is to express my disgust with the choice of Tom Hanks to play Robert Langdon in the upcoming movie.

Langdon is supposed to be older, pretty attractive, and a combination of smooth and awkward. Tom Hanks? Don't get me wrong; Tom is great actor. But he is not Robert Langdon. I would much rather see George Clooney.

Gmail Drive

I don't know that anyone's computer is really running out of space these days, but this makes for awesome back-up. Also, if anyone out there has any more invites(especially if I invited you), I wouldn't mind having a second...

Gmail Drive:

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.

Ever since Google started to offer users a GMail e-mail account, which includes storage space of a 1000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your GMail account and retrieve them again.

When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the GMail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer.
You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag’n'drop like you’re used to with the normal Explorer folders.
