Self Made Home Page

This Thing made me check my email.

I've had a gmail account for forever. I actually paid someone on ebay for an invite a million years ago, so I could for sure get my name as an address. Since then I have been a fan of all the products that google has put out, from email to google docs, to igoogle, the homepage that greets me every morning.

It amazes me go over to my Mom's house and see her Yahoo homepage. It is so busy, with flashing banners and crazy amounts of useless content. Finding the tab where her email lives is like looking for something in a casino. Compared to the sleek sparse way I have my igoogle set up, it makes my eyes cry a bit every time I see it. Email in one corner, a blog roll in the middle, and a calendar on the other side. I can add things if I need, take them away when I don't, and enjoy no flashing lights or loud noises. It is like the morning paper that I always wanted, presented every day for free when I start up my computer.
