Site Modifications…

Very nice!  Now….if I could only figure out how to stream live video from my iPhone using Qik.  That would be perfect.

Google’s Gmail application has always lacked one significant item for me:  control over signatures.  Well, there is still no solution from Google directly but the kind folks over at LifeHacker have stepped up to fill the void: Featured Greasemonkey User Script: Add Multiple, Address-Specific HTML Signatures to New Gmail
