in my inbox

AN INBOX IS nowhere to be. Filled with backlog despite excellent spam management and topic filtering, email is the cockroach of technology – it will outlive us all.

Wait! Before you keep reading, please download and listen along to the song “In my Inbox” [mp3] by the band Jim’s Big Ego.

Yes, email does serve its purpose. I use it more than anything else – it’s almost my favorite form of communication altogether.

Cockroaches, on the other hand, don’t serve much purpose other than to remind us of our inability to withstand exposure to the same environmental extremes.

Email will outlast me, I just know it. Long after my death, emails will be sent to me as if I, like the cockroach, survived the seemingly impossible.

   *throws clothes on the floor* There, you happy now!

   Did you know if you chopped the head off of a roach, it will live for 9 days before it dies from starvation? Food for thought.

   Good find. LOL

   When I saw your entry title in my RSS reader I immediately thought of this song. What a treat to see that’s exactly what you wrote about!
