What the heck is this g-mail thing? Just another email domain?

Ohoho! 'Tis not just another e-mail domain. Imagine an extremely intuitive, highly convenient, nearly perfect e-mail interface, with all the advantages of both application-based e-mail (except a calendar, but I don't use those anyway) and web-based e-mail, with very few of the disadvantages of either. It still has a few quirks, but it's still in beta--the whole reason we can use it is because we're supposed to be finding those quirks so they can fix them before it goes completely public.

I have to admit that I was kinda sketchy about the whole thing at first. I mean, Google doing e-mail? And the interface was just plain different at first. But after giving it a few days, I realized that Google wouldn't be making it if it wasn't easy, FAST (jesus christ is it fast), intuitive, and breaking away from common thought on the limitations that other people just assume are part of a problem and don't bother trying to get around ( ... )

Heh, yes and no. 'No' in that I love science far too much to do anything else with my life, and I doubt I could really stomach politics as a vocation. However, I hope to find a university somewhere and become influential enough to make a lot of changes that I have in mind for college and education in general. That's going to take some serious political skills, so I decided to start playing the game [that used to make me sick] and see if I'm any good at it early on.
