Good lyrics for me to hear today — All That I Am by The Insyderz

All that I am, All I can be
All that I have, All that is me
Accept and use Lord
As you would choose Lord
Right now today
Take every passion every skill
Take all my dreams
And bend them to your will
My all I give Lord for you
I’ll live Lord
Come what may

Often I come
With my problems and cares
Running to you when distressed
But I must bring you
The whole of my life
Lord I must give you my best

Life has no purpose
Unless it’s yours
Life without you has no goal
All that fulfills me
Is doing your will
Knowing that you’re in control

All that I am, All I can be
All that I have, All that is me
Accept and use Lord
As you would choose Lord
Right now today
Take every passion every skill
Take all my dreams
And bend them to your will
My all I give Lord for you
I’ll live Lord
Come what may

1. Create your signature in HTML in a text file named temp.html.  Here’s mine:

   <a href="http://sprignaturemoves.com">sprignaturemoves.com</a> //
   <a href="http://yourchurch.tv">yourchurch.tv</a> //
   <a href="http://twitter.com/wvpv">twitter.com/wvpv</a> //
   816-555-1212<br>
   "what others do with talent, I do with obstinate fixation"
   </font>
   

2. Open temp.html in your browser — in another window
3. Enable Labs in Gmail
4. Enable the Canned Response feature
5. Compose a new email
6. Highlight your signature in the other browser window
7. Drag it into the body of your e-mail
8. In the Canned responses drop-down, choose new canned response.
9. Name it “html sig”
10. Click Settings turn off the signature
11. From now on when you compose an e-mail, simply choose “html sig” from the canned response drop-down.

I’ve been trying figure out how I can integrate Google Voice into my phone interactions since I got an invite a couple of weeks ago.

Overall it’s a pretty amazing service. Good job, Google.

I would use it a LOT more if:

• I could enter a number with pauses, which would allow me to dial an extension.  Then I’d be able use it with my work phone.
• I could send short SMS codes and use GV with Twitter
• I could send an e-mail to my GV number like most of the wireless service do.  Then I could use the e-mail address with the server monitoring that I do at work.
• I could port my home number to GV.  This would be perfect when I wanted to dump my land line.

5.  Simple is better.  Sustainable.

4.  Soup to nuts

3.  Linear experience model — it’s just something I made up.

2.  Bam!  It’s so good.

1.  Google, you’re the mother-load.  Thank you.
