The Long Wait is Over

googlemaps-logoWith 2 Google posts in a row, it’s going to seem like I’m shamelessly giving them free advertising.  Anyhow, that’s not what I’m writing about.  I just wanted to thank Google for FINALLY putting high-res satellite imagery of London, Ontario on Google Maps.  For the longest time I’ve had to either use London’s way out of date aerial photo from their website, or use the old Yahoo! Maps beta that up and disappeared earlier this year.  Now when I go to someone’s house, I can pick the exact parking spot that I will use, and hope that no one has already taken it.  Good work Google.

Google, I couldn’t agree more.

GmailIt might seem kind of lazy to blog about someone else’s blog post, but I think this is a good one.  The Official Gmail Blog has a post that outlines 9 reasons why you should use the archive button in your Gmail account.  I have zero organization when it comes to my e-mail, all I do is read the e-mail, then archive it right away.  Since the Gmail search is so damn great though, I can always find what I’m looking for while still keeping a clean inbox.  With 6+ GB of e-mail storage, is there really any reason to full-on delete your e-mails instead of archiving them?  Seriously, is there?  If there is, post a comment, I want to know!
