sms notes..

Monday, April 4th, 2005

i send myself sms’s once in awhile (usually from YIM) to remind myself of addresses and phone numbers and stuff… apparently i have a very, very short term memory, since i’ always suprised when i then get the message on my phone..

me: (sends self an SMS)
(moments later)
phone: beep!
me: Ooo! I wonder who sent me a message!

I feel like that guy from memento.

april fools 2005

Friday, April 1st, 2005

so.. remember everyone, today is april fool’s day (and zuad and monnia’s birthdays! happy birthday zuad and monnia!)

anyway.. here’s a running list of the april fool’s jokes that i’m finding around the web…

  • Homestarrunner announces a new “PAY PLUS” program.. (only $19.95/month or $499.95/week!)
  • After last year’s announcement of gmail on April Fool’s day turned out NOT to be a joke, Google playfully announces that they’ve increased storage space to “infinity plus one” (you have to log out of gmail to see it). That part’s a joke.. But, they HAVE increased it to 2+ gigs…
  • In keeping with tradition, Google has another non-sensical April Fool’s day press release.. this time, Google Gulp. A series of drinks that poke fun at the flak they’ve been taking around Auto-Link. Clever.
  • Bloglines has two silly press releases that belie their geeky nature. They’re launching a bloglines translation in Klingon. Yah. Klingon.
  • boringboring is a well-done play on boingboing
  • AskJeeves launches Jeeves9000, the humanoid search robot. They worked really hard to be cooler than Google; they even made a movie.. Now, when you watch that movie, Jeeves9000 pulls *something* out of the couch after the voice says that he “anticipate[s] user needs” — to which the woman exclaims “oooo!”.. now i’m not sure exactly what it was that he pulled out of the couch, but it was kind of long and cylindrical looking.
  • Hmm.. I just found this.. a list of april fool’s day jokes for 2005.. And you can submit ones as you find them. neat. So, I guess I’ll just post what I think the good ones are here…
