Nov 6, 2005View in Crawl 4
I've had the same email address for about 7.5 years, but mainly because I'm too lazy, and I'm attached to my name. But I doubt I'll still have it in 20 years.
I'm going to write myself and request that if time travel has been invented I come back and give me some job advice. I'll let you know if a few minutes if I came back. lol
I sent myself my social, bday, and all my pin and account numbers, just in case I forget anything by then...Bah. Easier to just write something and stick it in an envelope for 25 years.

If you actually are reading this, that is crazy cool and Forbes is just awesome for this E-Mail Time Capsule thing. The link to it is / was <a class="user" href="http://forbes.codefix.net/capsule/">http://forbes.codefix.net/capsule/</a>I/ You/ We found out about it through <a class="user" href="http://digg.com">http://digg.com</a> at the url <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/software/Leave_yourself_a_secret_note_for_the_year_2025">http://digg.com/software/Leave_yourself_a_secret_note_for_the_year_2025</a>The time is 10:20 am Central Standard Time Monday morning November 7th, 2005.I can only imagine how much the world will have changed, how much I have changed, your wife and kids, which very hopefully I assume I've been blessed with within the 20 years between now and when you receive this email.I imagine that many things will be the same too, but maybe with a twist. Instead of television stations delivering their line up of content, people might just have a subscription to say ABC, CBS, or NBC and be able to make their own line up by choosing from their content. And if not, at least that was one of your ideas for the future.Too bad I won't be back here in time to correspond with you, this email is kinda a one way ticket only.I wish I could give you an awesome stock tip. But this is what I think of the world of business right now. Sony and Apple should merge, build an iPod/PSP mutant of sorts which would do everything that each other do well and it would do it just as well or better. Apple is just switching over Intel processors in a few months, Sony should drop Windows, make only Macs and Playstations and They could be serious competition for Microsoft concerning the Xbox and Windows Media Centers and all that stuff. (Yes I realize alot of these terms may become obsolete by the time you receive this email, but your memory will probably be able to understand what you once typed with your own fingers. [back in the day when keyboards were still used]) If Apple, Sony and Google teamed up... I could see Microsoft and Yahoo! coming together, Amazon.com would go to somebody and Ebay too. Then again they could all stay apart and probably do fine too.What you like to watch on TV: Smallville, Lost, The Apprentice, The Apprentice: Martha, Numb3rs, WWE Raw and Smackdown!What you like to watch on pseudo-IPTV: Diggnation, This Week in Tech, From the Shadows, Command N, Systm, TheBroken, and basically anything with the names Kevin Rose, Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, Chris Pirillo, or Yoshi Deherra. Now I will admit, that my opinion of them could change in well under a month, much more so in 20 years, so who knows what's come of the pioneers of what I am going to coin "The Age of Endless Media".Currently I live/ you lived at 1520th Street Odessa, Texas, 79761 and your phone number is 432-272-1560. I currenly blog via Xanga.com at <a class="user" href="http://xanga.com/macdaddydwj">http://xanga.com/macdaddydwj</a> . My primary email address is macdaddydwj@gmail.com, although I do use daniel.wayne.johnston@gmail.com for business and that's the reason I sent this email to it, as it is more likely I would use that that macdaddydwj in 20 years. I currently have all daniel.wayne.johnston@gmail.com email forwarded to my macdaddydwj@gmail.com account. So it all works out.I am writing this email from the computer at work. I work at Odessa College's information booth. I provide Information and Register Non-Credit classes for Continuing Education. You jokingly refer to the booth as your own private office with a window view.Your sister plans to get married to James Burwell soon, and they will move in together within the next week or so.Evan Kent Boggs (404)-617-3698, Neal Anthony, Andrew Sean (Shawn?) Murphy (432)-978-1271, Monica Sommerville (432)-349-9249 are all friends of mine.Well that's about all the information I can think of that would be interesting to tell you to remember. I wonder if this email will become significant or just something lost in the ether. Either way, I pray for you Daniel that you always always make Jesus your model, and live in worship of Him. I pray for blessings and wealth in all respects of your life, and that you be an honorable man of strength. I love you Dan. Jesus loves you too. Represent the Most High. Amen.
I filled one out but just put in my own SMTP bounce message .. because DUH!In 20 years, email will be like 8 track cassettes. This is where low-tech reigns. Go get yourself a pen and paper, then write a note and bury it in the woods. Twenty years from now, go dig it up. Tada!;)
Reminds me of this guy I know at work that hates his job. He set a 5 year reminder to himself in Outlook that said "If you are still working here in 5 years you are an idiot." He was down in the dumps last week and I asked him what was wrong. He then told me the story. He felt like an idiot.
