It’s incredible what can happen in the world when I stop paying attention to important online news services and forums.

According to the BBC last week, it seems some fellow is making another crack at the ‘invisibility cloak’ based on a projected image approach.

Gmail, the shiny new email service that everyone thought was a great big April 1st prank has been unleashed. The people behind it have established a brilliant marketing campaign by which the most active users of the service recieve ‘invites’ that they can send out to non-users. So if you want an awesome address without a pile of numbers and underscores tacked on the end of it, you may beg or pay for such an invite from one of the forward-thinking individuals listed at the above page. For me, personally, I’m sure I’ll check this thing out when it’s public, but I prefer the security of knowing that I’m at a consistent Hotmail address and can always be reached there. And if you need to send me large attachments, I’ll set you up a temporary ftp account at uwmike.
