Geek Soaps To Make You Feel And Smell Clean

For some reason, there are people who have this perception of geeks; that personal hygiene is not at the top of their list; that they care more about their toys and gadgets. We all know that this isn’t true – some geeks may not pay that much attention to personal appearances but they do like to bathe and shower just as much as the next person, right? But just in case you are looking for some incentive to spend a little more time in the bathroom making yourself smell nice, take a look at these two soap bars that will definitely get you washing as much as you can.

Google Buzz: It's Wave for the Masses

So you found Google Wave’s features too heavy for you to understand. If you recently logged into GMail and did a refresh, you probably were welcomed by a new violator that introduces a “Twitter within GMail.” Well, it’s that and more. Say hello to Google Buzz. In essence, it’s the FaceBook update screen integrated into GMail.

I found out soon enough when I tried to send the minutes of the meeting through my Google Apps e-mail. At first I thought that the error I was getting was because of our Internet connection Read more »

GMail Theme Tabs

Not too sure if you know about this already, but something worth your attention is waving at Gmail.com. Gmail now offers themes… yes, themes! Well I know know it was there for a long time through third-party aps, but now Gmail has ported the theme function from their very own. Getting your theme is as easy as clicking the theme’s tab when you log into your Gmail account. Now to some of you this is a GREAT step towards making Gmail work a little livelier. I could imagine those who work using their Gmail accounts every day. I know how bland and bleh Gmail can be at times. But hey, Read more »
