New contact info

Here's my new address for all those stalkers out there. I wish all my credit cards, magazines, etc. could pick this automatically somehow.

325 West Seneca St. # 2
Ithaca, NY 14850

My new cell phone # is (607) 262-0584. I'll cancel the old 415 number soon.

"Email is for old people"

The author of Due Diligence quotes a young cousin who's moved on to IM and (I assume) a cell phone.

It's true. Email sucks and I'm getting tired of it. Mine is over 60% spam right now which is a pain even with a filter. Between that and my own outgoing mail being tagged by other people's spam filters email has really lost it's allure.

The only thing holding IM back is incompatibility between systems. Nobody wants to sign up and manage ICQ, AOL, Yahoo, MSN, etc. but we all have friend or contacts on all those networks. I'm wondering if my school has standardized on any IM platform.
