Talk about integration ...
During the preparation for this column ...
Strange but true, whenever
I use that phrase, or a similar one, I'm telling the truth. Sure, it's the sort
of exaggeration that could make for more interesting reading, and my commitment
to the truth isn't that strong that I wouldn't permit myself a rather elegant
exaggeration here or there, just a wee-bit of stretching the truth, let's call
it, a sprinkling of fiction to help characterize what's anyway a somewhat fictionalized
persona. But sometimes it's even harder to make things up than simply to report
what really happens.
So, it was during the preparation of this column that
I found myself logging into my mail account at work with my gmail password. Only
on my second try did I realize what I was doing that was causing a problem. I
may be ready for seamless integration, but it seems that our various tools still aren't.

things the hard way.
