A little known feature of Gmail allows the user to use an alias with their account. I've always filtered things by the FROM email account but doing it this way will make it much easier to organize. Link.

Added Blog Stats
I put some blog stats on this page. This entry is just so I remember when I did it. Want your own? Go here.
So it begins
I should be going to bed around 10 but I always decide to just watch a "little" TV. That usually ends up being a couple of hours watching something like The Blind Swordsman or playing poker through PokerRoom.com (of which I'm 17,000 out of 19,000 players - so I should give that up). So after staying up till midnight on Saturday I begin Sunday morning at 6:30 with my wife screaming. It's one thing to wake up quietly with the sound of rain and something entirely different to wake to a scream. It turns out that the Boy has decided to pee in the potty.
Now, the rules of the potty training game begin with showering the child with loads of praise when he is successful - hence the earlier scream of which I now realize wasn't a bad, I'm in pain, scream but a good one. Since Laura has done her part, I'm now expected to do mine and I drag myself up, go into the bathroom, say good job, and go back to bed.
So begins the ritual of constantly placing the child on the potty, asking if he has to go, and the constant praise for successes (which requires the parent to be "upbeat" - which is not my area of expertise). This should be interesting.

Another reason why Google is cool
How many large, world wide, tech companies that you know of have open source projects? Google has a bunch of projects on SourceForge that look very interesting. code.google.com

GMail Atom Feed
You've probably known about the gmail atom feed
http://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom
But did you know you can pull just on label?
http://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom/SomeLabel
And you can also pull your All Mail. So if you get a new message and you have a filter that puts it into a label and archives it then you can pull your all mail to get every unread message in your account.
http://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom/all
Only reason I could see for using it is to write your own notifier. But thought it was cool.

Power Over Ethernet
Would be a cool way to put your router in a better location to get the most coverage without having to run power to it. Link
