The time has come. Since getting my first* email address nine years ago (stuffboy-at-novia.net), I've always been STUFFBOY. The problem is, I'm still stuffboy, and yet I'm 26 years old, and frankly, if you've seen my room you know that I don't have much of a place for stuff anymore.
So I must change.
The change won't be sudden. The fact of the matter is I've already paid for my current e-mail (stuffboy-at-mac.com) through February of 2007, but as of tomorrow I won't be sending anything from it EVER AGAIN. Stuffboy has died, and I KILLED HIM.
In an attempt to streamline my life, I've decided to adopt the ever expanding, always awesome services of Google. Now that they've rolled out
Docs and
Spreadsheets I've decided to embrace the notion of working completely on-line. The bane of my existence has always been backing up data. With an ALL-GOOGLE lifestyle, I shouldn't have to do it ever again (sure, GOOGLE
could go offline, but the chances of
that happening are significantly less than the chances of my old Mac deciding to screw me once again).
Anyway. If you need to reach me, point your e-mail machine here:
myfirstname.mylastname@gmail.com **
If you need an extra reminded, don't worry, I'll be sending out a pesky mass-mailing by the end of the night.
Godspeed, Stuffboy. You've been good to me.
*Or at least the first address I was actually paying for.
**Seeing as how my old address was spread over this site like sweet, sweet butter, and seeing as how that may or may not have resulted in copious amounts of SPAM, I'm going to try to not be so blatent this time around.
