Epistemographer

So, I just got a G-mail account: epistemographer@gmail.com. How, you ask, did I manage such a thing? Well-connected friends? Winning a contest?

Nope. I went to Gmailswap.com and offered to mail someone a fresh NYC bagel for a Gmail invite. Literally within two minutes, I’d recieved a response, and tomorrow morning, a plain (and an onion, just because she seems really nice) bagel will be winging its way to a young woman in Portland, OR.

For some reason, this whole thing really appeals to my sense of the absurd, and I wouldn’t have wanted to get a Gmail invite any other way.
