After years of using feedreader clients, e-mail programmes, several gadgets for pretty much everything, checking tons of websites on a daily base and being annoyed by webmailers when checking my e-mails from other computers, I decided to switch everything to Google. I still need to figure out if it was a wise move, if it was worth leaving them all my data, well, basically all my online life just like that.

However, it’s not that bad: I’m only using Google Reader (already switched to it a while ago and I love being able to check my feeds from everywhere now, even on my phone), Google Mail (set up as a client for all my addresses) and got myself a nice iGoogle homepage (with Social Networks, news, weather, TV programme and stuff) today. It’s simple, time saving, practically accessible from everywhere and I probably sound like a complete internet retard proclaiming this only now.

But it kinda fits to my recent personality, tidy, ditching everything and just generally being convinced increasing your freedom means decreasing your possessions. I want to get rid of all the unnecessary bits and pieces, be independent from my computer (by making myself dependent on Google, oh well) and combine it all (Josie: “You’re not actually minimalistic cos you don’t want as little as possible. You’re puristic – you want all in one!”). Oh well, that’s me.
