If you have ever tried to login to Facebook from a new device, Facebook might prompt you to prove that you are the account holder by identifying photos of your friends. Recently I needed to gain control of an account that was not mine (that I had full authorization to do so) and had to go through this task. [...]
You just cannot reinvent email, period. Most people just want the basic features of email: from, cc, bcc, and attachments. Maybe some MIME/rich media.

Desk Built Using PVC Fence Post and Birchwood via Home Depot I've always been kind of a handy person and have had a variety of jobs in my youth. My Father is very handy and always was building or fixing things around the house, so I learned a lot about tools from a very young age. After the recent [...]
