Email…from the future!

In my ongoing, albeit intermittent, efforts to broadcast the future, let me present FutureMe.org. Some brainiac out there had the twisted idea of burying digital time capsules in the form of email. From this plain-jane site you can enter a message that will be sent to yourself at a specified time in the future. I suppose you could send an email from the future to someone else, although I can’t quite figure out how that application of this “technology” would be necessary. Unless you wanted to screw with someone and send them an email from buddha@allah.god or something. And how is this different from hiding notes from yourself around the house? Forget about time capsules. I’m just going to start using FutureMe.org as my “message from G*d” software. [click] There, I just sent myself next week’s grocery list. Thanks, G*d, now I can rest easy…

    That’s what I have Outlook for! It makes little boxes pop up on my laptop at work so I don’t forget everything. Huh, and just 4 and a half years ago I didn’t even have a computer or a cell phone!

    I’m truly amazed to hear that you use Outlook, Stacey! You’ve come a long way, baby. What’s next, neural implants?
