Stylin' new specs!

I've had the same glasses for almost 5 years now. My wife kept telling me that I needed new ones, but of course, I'm cheap. hah hah. It wasn't until my glasses kept falling off my head when I bent over that I realized she was right. After a little searching on Fatwallet, I discovered Optical4less, and their prices were unbeatable. I decided on this style, and got them for $59 shipped, for the complete package. I must admit, not being able to try them on was a little nerve-wracking. I was afraid they might make me look a little fobby. Well, I received them yesterday, and the quality and style of the glasses are great. Optical4less definitely gets my 2 thumbs up!

Heard about this over at Slashdot. Check out the press release here. Who says Texas is a backwards state? Yee-hah!!! This news makes me want to go lasso some cattle!

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.
