Time Magazine has published a humourous graphical essay by Evan Eisen on God’s Inbox.

The picture is full of visual gags (of varying quality).

They range from the files and folders on the Desktop (Jesus Baby pics, etc) to the subject lines and senders in God’s Inbox (surfrgrl@myspace.com “Can you, like, clear up my skin before the prom?”):

Download a PDF of the image from the Time Magazine web site and enjoy the joke at a higher resolution.

Personally, I think it is a fake. Using Mail.app adds initial credibility to the story, but I just can’t believe God doesn’t use Quicksilver.

[Thanks to Aaron , the developer of the Letterbox widescreen plugin for Mail.app for tipping me off about this.]

Live Blogging TV takes a dim view of the new lozenge-shaped buttons in Tiger Mail.

The proposed method for disposing of the buttons is complicated and unique.

Personally, I would use Mail Stamps — which works a treat with Mail 2.0.7 and is much more cow- and piranha-friendly.
