Hey! If I gave you a Gmail invite, I would like to request that you take a gander at this post from Wil Wheaton. I think it's a good cause.

War Is Hell

"SGT Tim Knowles in Afghanistan said that good morale is hard to come by out there in Iraq, and the guys are buzzing about the possibilities of 1 gig."

I suppose it is a good cause, but there's something funny about that statement.

"Risking my life every day in the desert thousands of miles from home to prop up the ill-conceived occupation of a nation that doesn't want me here, and fighting a determined, even suicidal foe who strikes without warning and observes no code of honor... It's tough, alright. But what really gets me down is when my Yahoo account bounces email cause it's over quota. Oh, the humanity!"

Especially since Yahoo just went from 6MB free to 100MB free...

Yeah, I know. It makes sense actually, and if I get a gmail invite I'd be happy to pass it on.

The link between morale and mailbox size just amused me, that's all. "The guys are buzzing about the possibilities of 1 gig." Not exactly "Band Of Brothers," you know? The geek army has arrived.

That picture of Wil in the upper-left hand corner is damn creepy. What's got him so excited? He looks drugged.
