I’m old.

Unlike people born after the first Star Wars movie (the real one), I use desktop apps for things like managing my calendar and checking my email.

My hard drive recently crashed, and as someone who is terrible about backing up their computer, I was terrified - but then found that all my data actually existed in the cloud (since I use google apps for my mail), so I really hadn’t lost much.

But I realize that I still hold on to things like my calendar, address book and mail client much more than a lot of web users. And since more and more of our digital life is moving into the cloud, I’m going to try a week of only using web services to check my mail, look up my friends addresses, and arrange what I’m doing when.

I have to take the train tomorrow, which is when I usually catch up on my email backlog. I also haven’t properly set up my phone to sync with these services, so I’ll give that a go.

I know you are all waiting with baited breath for my findings. I’ll report back in a week.
