Yahoo Mail expands to 100 mb

Today I logged into my Yahoo mail account, and realized I had 2 gb of email space. 2 gb. That's a lot of room for spam. Because I am a Yahoo plus subscriber (subscribed until Feb) they automatically bumped up my storage from 25 mb to 2 gb. Quite a jump. Does anyone really need 2 gb of storage for email? The normal Yahoo mail account has also been increased, from 4 mb to 100 mb. Wonder how Hotmail is planning on keeping up with the ever expanding email war. Maybe throw in a free copy of Office? hah hah. Anyways, I guess now I'll go ahead and keep my Yahoo account as well.

On another note, ESPN Page 2 columnist Ralph Wiley died last night of a heart attack. He was 52. Life is short. I only began reading his articles recently. I'm playing catch up now. One of my favorite columns was the one he wrote about the career of David Robinson. Hope you enjoy.

And the winner is...

After conferring with a few colleagues to get their respected opinions, I narrowed the choices down to three:

1. samuelyu@gmail.com
2. scamyu@gmail.com
3. yumail@gmail.com
4. yugotmail@gmail.com

Upon further consideration, while the last 3 are quite clever, and I'm hoping they will be available later, I decided to go with the more standard samuelyu@gmail.com, especially after I found out that my wife's choice for her address, vanessayu@gmail.com was taken already. Better get it while I can! So from now on, please all correspondence to samuelyu@gmail.com

Thanks go out to my lovely wife Vanessa, Mitchell, Jon, David, Manuel, Tino and of course Jimmy for helping me make this difficult decision.

My Gmail Dilemma

Two posts in 1 day...I'm on a role! Okay, here's my dilemma that I need some help with. I just got an offer to join Gmail. For those who don't know, Gmail is the new email service by Google that offers 1 GB of storage space for your emails. You read it right, 1 GB. Anyways, Gmail signup is not open to the public yet. How did I get in you might ask? Gmailswap.com! Check it out if you want. Okay, now here's my dilemma. I was going to use heyyu@gmail.com. However, you need a minimum of 6 characters! So now I am stuck. Here are the choices I've narrowed it down to:

1. asiansensation
2. scamyu
3. thelastscamurai
4. scammy
5. scammer
6. samuelyu
7. muhanyu

So whattaya think? I need your help! Let me know which one you think works the best.
