Creeva’s World 2.0

This is part of my life notes series.

I man­aged to score my first gmail account.  This was back when gmail invites were sell­ing on e-bay still.   Granted they weren’t going to hun­dreds of dol­lars any­more but they were going to tens of dol­lars.    Ever since migrat­ing every­thing over to gmail I haven’t looked back.

I now have 4 years worth of email stored and have deleted very lit­tle.  I use gmail as a ref­er­ence cen­ter for many things that I’ve done and e-mail that has passed across my eyes.   I think it’s one of the great­est his­tor­i­cal arti­facts of my life when I need to know where I was and what I was doing.

Granted this was all pre active blog­ging and that is now becom­ing a more pre­cise record of who, what, when, where, and how for me, but some times the inprecise records can help you flush out the details.   I love gmail and though I won­der how much more we feed the google mon­ster all the time I’m not sure I could ever use another mail service.
