Gmail Switchover

So, like we said before, ITS is switching webmail over to Gmail. By the look of the shoutbox, folks have some questions about all the finicky details, like, “how do I get my old emails back?” C’mon guys, new year, new start. But, if it’s really that important to you, check out the ITS Blog featuring the FAQ and How To’s. Sheesh, some people have no sense of adventure.

Also, please don’t call me directly, but you might catch me picking up the ‘phone at Helpdesk – 860.685.4000. Then again, you might not – I’m still in NH at the moment. Everyone else driving home (sorry Mom, I mean back to college) in the snow, be sure to drive safe. /PSA

Political Humor

Logan Ludwig ’09 and Kate Gavriel ’09 both sent in this viral video meme thing with a bunch of Hollywood political activist types completely insensitive to the fact that some of us can’t vote. What a bunch of jerks. For those who can, though, you probably ought to.

And Emily Caffery ’10 forwards along this humorous little dig at the French Canadians (everyone can enjoy that – except maybe the Quebecois):

Free pizza & money.

Behavioral Econ Project – free pizza and an opportunity to make some money.

7:30 PM tonight, PAC001.

C’mon, you know you don’t have that many points left. Limited to first 45 people.

Attn Rising Seniors

Just a quick reminder for those of us who are angling for woodframes – you need at least one member of your group to attend a Community Standards Workshop. The first two already happened, but there are three (3) more opportunities:

What about that other, OTHER candidate who gets no coverage?

Disappointed with the lack of crazy ranting and ridiculous hyperbola (C’mon, ONE crazy pastor and an aging former vice presidential democratic nominee political hack?), I’ve decided to throw in some coverage of Web 2.0’s poster candidate, Dr. Ron Paul.

Maybe Orville will run as his VP? America loves popcorn.

Obama’s not the only one with a message of hope, people. Ron Paul believes in hope too!
