The Blog of Brad
My GMail Situation:
Since GMail came into invite-beta I’ve had an account, and last year, when I finally got BradArsenault.com, I added a Google Apps domain which is connected to it. So now I have two email accounts. Back in August of last year I connected the email accounts together by fetching my BradArsenault.com email through Google’s POP download function and can send via the other account with a similar tool built into GMail.
The problem is that when ever I send a message it says in the from address: “(my gmail account) on behalf of brad(at)bradarsenault.com”. This is a problem because I want people to see only my bradarsenault.com address, and to hide my GMail account with it. So I have an idea!
I’m going to move all of my mail from my GMail to BradArsenault.com mail, using another Google tool I’ve heard about (the name slips my mind for some reason). But that’s not going to be easy, because I have a dream, yeah, another dream, to get an email address crafted to be awesome for an email address (thanks to Mark Christian for this [shinyplasticbag.com] @shinyplasticbag) br@darsenault.com or brad@rsenault.com… see, awesome!
Moral of the story: I need a better client because I will have to log-in to all of these accounts separately and manage my email in different locations. Unless that is, I give up the freedom of GMail and move….ewww… to a mail client (such as Mail or Outlook). That seems to be my only good, viable solution.
Sorry if this seems like a rant, but if Google would only remove that “on behalf of” (what I call) bug, everything would be happier and sunnier.
**I apologize for that: but I’m just not agreeing with GMail today.

Last September I first wrote about Google’s reimagining of what a web browser should be and the technology that they use to do that, all of this to improve the user experience of web apps including Google Apps, and most other HTML5 or Javascript heavy web sites.

I have been a mostly faithful mac user since 2003 when I got my first Mac (an eMac). It shipped with 384 MB memory, an 800MHz G4 proc, a 40GB HDD, a CD-ROM drive that I had swapped for a combo—then eventually SuperDrive. That Mac saw Jaguar, Panther, and Tiger, and like all versions of
iPhone App: GPush

GPush is a simple app that fills a massive void in my life: push GMail on the iPhone. This app was demonstrated on July 7 by TechCrunch and has finally been accepted into the App Store (yesterday, July 17). This app does what it does by using GMail’s IMAP Idle function on the developers’ servers

What I Want to See from Google Chrome OS:

I just read a post on LifeHacker, the “9 must-have features” from Google’s recently announced operating system, I think what I’d like to see is greatly different from what they would like to see. No native apps: I don’t think there should be any native apps for the Chrome OS for many reasons including

PBWorks (previously known as PBWiki) is the first really usable in the real world wiki service that is as easy as PB&J sandwiches and today released their ‘Project Edition’ which focuses on milestones, goals, and task management, however is still a wiki.
