Those are my eyes staring at you. They allow me to see you clearly through this screen. No, don't click there, it will take you away from my online space.
Let me start again, I am Wyatt and I am a software engineer. I am also a process theologian, author, music hipster, struggling artist who enjoys thinking outside of your finitude. I am not as pretentious as that line makes me sound. If you have some spare time read more about me.
I suggest that google add an unread messages inbox count to their main site.
You will notice that when you visit google.com you have links at the top of the site for Web, Images, and Gmail. One thing that they should do when you are sign-in to google is to show you a count of how many unread messages you have in your inbox. So if you have 3 unread messages they should show the link to gmail as Gmail (3). I know that you can get your messages from iGoogle, but I think this little addition would be wonderful for people like me, who keep all of their messages read, or at least marked read.
The second thing I have noticed is a little bug. When you search your messages in gmail and there are more than 2 pages worth of results, the link to the Oldest (last page) doesn't show until you page to the 2nd page of results. They should fix this so that the Oldest link shows on the first page of results. Otherwise to get to the last page you have to click Older, then Oldest on the next page.
