Gmail, Swing Sets and Earth Day

I've been doing the webview routine for Gmail for years now after abandoning POP3 clients. Found out a while back that IMAP was also doable via Gmail. More recently found that calendars can be synced and that LDAP for syncing addresses is also doable. [Re: LDAP] Maybe even sync with the old Palm. Looks like it might be a syncing itch I can't not scratch.

Oh the wonders we enjoy in these modern times.

But not today. Today is Earth Day in Lincoln and I'm taking my electric bike down for a combination celebration and propaganda run. This assumes the still occasionally intermittent wiring hangs in there. The festival is conveniently located right off my main bike path a couple miles down the road. Supposed to be a near perfect day which is rare in these parts.

( Yesterday's exploits . . . )

Oh, yes. Much fun was had yesterday. More planned today.

"Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton was endorsed Sunday by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, whose owner and publisher, billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, personally funded many of the investigations that led to President Clinton's impeachment in 1998. It was one of a handful of endorsements the New York senator has received from Pennsylvania newspapers before the state's primary Tuesday. Most of the state's major papers have endorsed Barack Obama."
