I just want to puke my admiration here for the Google toys. So I'd been putting off really using my gmail account. I had prefered my Yahoo and its Calender. First, Jer introduced my to the Google Chat. So I started to stay online with gmail more. Hell, I even downloaded my address book into it.
Next, I discovered that the Google Calender is infinitely easier than the Yahoo Calender. I LOVE the pick up and drag feature. With my constantly changing plans, it comes in very handy. The quick entry feature is also handy for my lazy butt.
Then, just today, I discovered a feature that is going to have me completely ditch Yahoo. A long lost friend sent an email containing the phrase: "can do coffee in the hood sat. after 5." Then I notice that is an "Add to Calender". Click onto it and its filled out an event dialog box. From that short phrase, it placed the date and the location, "in the hood". Hehe, I could even map "the hood" if I needed.
Ok, I'm sure this has all been covered by mugsy or protaganist5 at some point.... What can I say, I'm a late geeker.
