This is mostly for me, but I figured it would be nice to share.

gmail chat?

I feel like I'm missing something. Is that like YIM?

It is much like YIM, so far as chat programs go. The only difference is that it works inside IE, or Firefox or other browsers, and you aren't required to download a client. There are other features, but that's the gist.

Those are freakishly cute. Monkey! And the second to last looks a bit like St. Stupid (http://saintstupid.com/findstpd/findstpd.html). Though I guess he'd need slanted eyebrows, mouth to cheek parenthesis. And a hat. OK, maybe it's just more evocative of St. Stupid.

Makes me want to get an I'm with St. Stupid tee-shirt. Heh.
