Me so sleepy

I just saw a commercial that was talking about the need for sleep research. That was all fine and good, until they brought up this reason:

"Even Tiger Woods said of his Stanford days that he didn't get enough sleep."

Are you kidding me? A college student not getting enough sleep? It must be something genetic! Or some other sleep disorder! I can't think of any circumstances that would prohibit an otherwise normal college student from getting enough sleep every night!

Google, please fix Gmail

Dear Google,

You've made good products in the past. In general, your products have a very polished feel.

Why, then, must I tolerate a change in design and functionality in this latest "version" of Gmail? Now when I click in the empty box below a conversation thread, the default behavior is to reply to all instead of reply. This has caused me to accidentally reply to dozens of people. This has the unfortunate side effect of automatically adding dozens of people I don't know to my contact list.

Google lists this as a "known issue" but I'm not sure how this could be a known issue and not simply be fixed. The workarounds are "click reply" or "use the older version of Gmail". It seems like it would be an easy fix. But then again, it's not happening to everyone that uses Gmail.

It certainly happens to me though. Maybe this is what we get for using a "beta product"...?

Gas prices

With rising gas prices, everyone is concerned with fuel efficiency and finding ways to cut back on gas consumption. In true Stephen Colbert fashion, I'd like to encourage everyone to burn as much gas as possible before it becomes prohibitively expensive! It's our duty as Americans.
