I just wanted to make note, today was the day I coined the term “podroll” for your list of links to podcasts, playing off the previous term “blogroll.” Y’know, just in case I’m actually the first. 😉 UPDATE Okay, looks like I’m about a month or so late. But at least I came up with…

Gmail in Mail.app
Now that I’ve got a ‘Book back, I’d much rather hit all of my email in one place, so with the help of Hawk Wings, I discovered this handy-dandy guide for getting your gMail in Apple Mail. So now I’m downloading six months worth of gMail into my ‘Book… Wish me luck. 😉

This city is skin deep, but what gorgeous skin.
