So I’ve finally given in and gotten myself a gmail address, thanks to Kirsten. I have no idea how much I might or might not use it — I already have e-mail addresses [\@speakeasy.net]{.citation cites=”speakeasy.net”}, [\@myrealbox.com]{.citation cites=”myrealbox.com”}, and [\@mac.com]{.citation cites=”mac.com”}, plus a literally infinite number of addresses available [\@michaelhanscom.com]{.citation cites=”michaelhanscom.com”} (my mailserver is set up to drop anything sent to michaelhanscom.com into my inbox, so if you’re ever bored and feel like sending me something, feel free to put whatever you want before the @ sign and it’ll reach me) — but I finally figured it was worth jumping on the bandwagon.
So, if you feel like it, you can drop me a line at michael [dot] hanscom [at] gmail [dot] com in addition to any other e-mail address you might already have for me. No need to update your address books, though, I’m not losing any of the already existing addresses anytime soon (except possibly the [\@myrealbox.com]{.citation cites=”myrealbox.com”} addy, as I rarely use it for anything other than a couple of mailing lists anymore).
