An exercise in frustration
When I was training for the 2 marathons I ran, I listened to audiobooks to pass the time as training runs could last for hours (it takes awhile to run 20+ miles on the long runs). I bought a number of books from Audible.com. Once I stopped training, I couldn't justify the monthly cost for audible, so I switched to listening to podcasts on my runs. The other day, my dad showed me how he checked out an audio book from the library to listen on his iPod Touch. It looked promising, so when I got home, I went to the San Diego Public Library Web site and browsed to the eCollections link. I found a book that said it could be played on the iPod, so I checked it out and installed the OverDrive software on my iPhone.

Another run in with Mail.app
It seems that I rarely encounter issues with Mail hanging while talking to Gmail. Maybe I'm lucky, but it seems that my sister has more problems with the combination than anyone else I know. Today she called me almost panicked as her husband's machine wasn't getting mail. Turns out there were a number of issues contributing to the problem. The solution was relatively simple once I figured out the issue.
