Got Gmail?
Todd over at Geek News Central was handing out Gmail accounts to all his loyal listeners. What a good idea! I’ve got 49 invites I could pass out to interested parties, so if your in need of a nice, big, google-y mailbox, drop me an email and I’ll send you an invite as a special thank you for visiting my weblog.
In addition to my classic address, I can now be reached at brainwagon@gmail.com. First come, first served, when they are gone, they are gone.
