@whir I already filed a bug on that (the triangle overlapping the drag grippy). Should be fixed soon.
@LindaEskin I recommend you start with organizing your bacn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) using filters & labels. More at http://mail.google.com/support...
@paulozoom We retired right-side labels. Not coming back. Default Reply to All was broken and the fix is not trivial. But it will come back.
@LindaEskin Labels = tags. But that doesn't mean they can't have familiar folder-esque functionality & terminology if you are very careful.
Gmail labels: drag-n-drop, hiding, and more. Rolling out today: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009...
Great improvements! - Bret Taylor
nice job. great post. - Jenna Bilotta
Thanks! There is another post coming to the Google Blog later today that talks more about the evolution of labels over the years. - Michael Leggett
cool! I'll save my sharing for that one. :) - Jenna Bilotta
FireFox 3.5 may be faster, but it *still* takes 30+ seconds to start up and still makes me press the down arrow to use the address bar auto-complete. These things cause real latency.
It also still wastes space with always showing the status bar (I only need it when I'm hovered over a link). - Michael Leggett

RIP Michael Jackson & Farrah Fawcett... strange day
@nikasmith Point out Twitter's asymetric following model & that no one gets his tweets. He'll abandon in no time. Worked for my dad.
All weekend house shopping makes for a very tired and grumpy Michael. Maybe I should put all my money into http://sfraffle.com/Overvie... instead.
@stop Yes, very anti-climactic. But all the real fun has yet to start. #fufacebook
That wasn't so bad. http://facebook.com/leggett for me and http://facebook.com/hadley for the wife. I decided not even try /michael.

@Kowitz woot!! Congrats on finding an apartment.
Sad that Rice lost their first game against LSU. Hoping for a strong showing tomorrow.
Nope... they lost the second one too. Oh well... next year? - Michael Leggett
Can anyone recommend a mortgage lender in the Bay Area?
I'm pretty sure I am going to work with redfin.com and am looking at buying between Sunnyvale and San Mateo. Have heard I should work directly with a bank (not via a broker) and have heard not so good things about LendingTree. - Michael Leggett
And I've already called a few from http://www.redfin.com/buy-a-h... - Michael Leggett
Broker? I cannot express how awesome Sandy Bennett at Preferred Mortgage is. http://www.prefmortgageloans.com. Myself and several of my friends have used her, and she's extremely easy to work with, very very knowledgeable, and gets great deals. She and I sat down recently to examine a refinance and she actually came to the conclusion that now was not a good time for me -- mostly because the original mortgage she brokered for me was so awesome. - Paul Wilcox
If you've got the scratch (20% down), I hear Wells Fargo is good. - AJ Kohn
Any comments on mortgage broker vs working directly with a bank? Of course the banks will claim they get you a better deal b/c they cut out the middle man. Seems reasonable to me. Thoughts? - Michael Leggett
I've dealt with someone at BofA that was good (local in Palo Alto). I can give you my scattered thoughts about brokers vs banks in person. - Edward Ho
PicasaWeb just got crazy fast! Faster than iPhoto even. Go to http://picasaweb.google.com/herfolo... and hold down your right arrow key through 73 photos.
That's pretty rad. But much more fun to go to the end and hold down the left arrow key. - Andrew Swick

@nikasmith photoshop cs3 is nice. Not at all a fan of cs4 though.

Fast and Furious 4?!? Kudos to Hollywood for not using the same-title + number of sequel pattern any more. All sequels have new names... except when they don't fit on the marque and/or the theatre gets lazy. Now can someone explain to me how were there FOUR Fast and Furious movies?!? - Michael Leggett
The fourth one did really well on opening weekend so I'm sure we'll be seeing a fifth one soon. I enjoyed the third one, Tokyo Drift. - Jess Lee
The first movie was actually called "The Fast and the Furious"; the fourth's official name is just "Fast and Furious". Perhaps the theater added the 4 to indicate this wasn't a screening of the old film. - Andrew C
