So far Gmail has turned out to be pleasantly nice as far as experiences go. Some little polishing touches, such as the email address popping up if you hover the mouse ofer the email in the Inbox is a clever touch. Ditto for the first few words of text of the email next to the Subject. However, as I feared, the spam filtering is next to useless. The scary part is that there was already spam waiting for me before I had a chance to hook up the mirror link from my more established email accounts. I don't think I have time to be slogging through yet another pile of spam in my Inbox. If I want that, I'll get another Hotmail Account. :: The Queen Mary 2 came into town this morning. At first I wasn't all that thrilled about it, just another giant cruise liner, no biggie. But somehow at work we all got to talking about it, and then I got really excited about seeing it. So after work I hopped a train and rode up on to the West Side and Pier 92. The ship is HUGE. When you're up close, you don''t really see it. But when you get a bit further aways, and see it dwarfing it's pier, no slouch at an imposing 4 stories, and you realize it's a floating 10 story city block, you get a little bit of awe. It's a pity I left my camera at home, so no pictures for you to all enjoy. I'm seriously thinking of watching it and the QE2 sail out in tandem on Sunday night. Oh, and right across the street from the ship? The new Hustler Club. Perfect.
