I’m the only gay Eskimo

So I joined yet another social networking system, Tribe. I had read about the gay bloggers tribe on a few people’s blogs, and decided to jump on the bandwagon.

So I joined yet another social networking system, Tribe. I had read about the gay bloggers tribe on a few people’s blogs, and decided to jump on the bandwagon. It’s given me some new blogs to check out (as well as some familiar faces), and the tribe has a lively discussion board, which keeps me going back for more.

I’m sure most of you will get the allusion in this entry’s title, but if not, perhaps I should state that no, I am not a gay Eskimo. (Well, homosexual, yes. Arctic native, no.)

In other tech news, I owe Sam (of madlife) an overdue shout out for sending me an invite for a Gmail account. It took me forever to decide on a username, but I ended up going with one just based on my name and initials. I had tried to come up with some kind of kicky riff on my first name’s similarity to “jif”: “choose jeff” (you know, like the peanut butter), “jeffy pop” (cute, but taken; ah, story of our lives), “jeffy lube” (…).

So it’s yet to be seen what I actually do with the account. Since I have my own e-mail at my domain, the Gmail account is just sitting there like a large, empty warehouse.

I’m enjoying the tribe as well. I have a gmail account too. I use it for all those sites that ask for an e-mail address. It cuts down on the junk in my regular e-mail box.

I’ve been enjoying Tribe a lot too. Just one more thing to check out ten times a day.

My gmail account is doing the same thing. Drawing dust. I’ve sent people messages telling them to start using the gmail account. Old habits are hard to change in people.
