the eXternal mind

I was in the process of backing up my email today from Gmail (by using Thunderbird). I think this is a good idea for anyone using Gmail just in case they lose your email or accidentally delete your account (this is rare but happens). So from February 9th 2007 to April 15th 2007 (a little over 2 month), I received and sent out a total of 1836 emails. I think <200 of that are emails I sent out, and about 1/3rd of the 1836 emails are probably personal correspondence (ie. No emails from college mailing list, computer generated emails from accounts, etc.). No spam was counted in the 1836 emails. I thought these numbers were somewhat interesting to share.
