I’ve switched over to gmail for my primary email needs because Stanford gives us such a paltry amount of storage that I have to archive emails more than a few months old. This means being unable to go back through old emails readily. So, from the beginning of this year, I’m aggregating my email at gmail for storage and sorting. The upside is obvious (plenty of storage, flexibility). The downsides are minor (inability to sort by certain criteria, ugliness).

The biggest thing so far is that all the filters I have set up are doing their job almost too well. I now get just a handful of immediately relevant emails every few hours, rather than a blast of emails I must sort. In the end, I feel efficiently lonely.

Operation ‘Make Everyone Watch Farscape’ is going exactly as I had planned…

What, you haven’t heard of Farscape? The first 3 seasons are on Netflix. Just watch the first season and you’ll be hooked. It’s kind of like The Wire in outer space, with puppets.
