By the powers of two I command you to dial

Here in Alabama, USA we've just acquired the new area code "256" which means that some lucky (and probably unappreciative) bastard will get +1-256-512-1024 Which has simply got to be the coolest damn phone number I can imagine. -- David McNett Can i dial 1-255-255-255255 and make every phone in the world ring? -- Tanuki

Personal Gmail Use Statistics

November 04, 2007 at 07:13 PM | categories: random, google | View Comments

I've been using Gmail since the invite only beta, my first received email was 6/15/04, and overall I have 8353 emails stored, which means that: I am currently using 896 MB (19%) of 4647 MB. Not bad, wish Google tracked the amount of spam I've gotten in that time frame. What does everyone else's account look like?

Reading about Get Friday on a Sunday

June 03, 2007 at 01:23 PM | categories: random, humor, psychology | View Comments

I read way too much and I visit too many random web sites. Today, I was reading the Wall Street Journal online about outsourcing the more common things in your life. I do a search for Get Friday, one of the Indian firms mentioned, out of curiosity. Under unusual services they have provided a couple tidbits:

• Apologizing and sending flowers and cards on their behalf to spouses or clients.
• Research on how to tie a shoe lace meant for a kid (client’s son).
• Talking to parents in our client’s stead.
• Reading bedtime stories to a young kid on phone

What kind of person thinks it would be a swell idea to have someone in India read your kid a bedtime story on the phone because they are too busy? Although, it would be fun to have everyone route their requests to a personal assistant, just to see the looks on their faces.
