I’m all about google’s new custom time feature. From now on all emails from me will be back dated to April 1, 2008.

Yeah, they got me good this time. When you log in to gmail it shows up as a new option in red at the top New! Gmail Custom Time

I love the testimonials. and the link to the Grandfather Paradox article on Wikipedia. This was a good one!

By the way, Mark, thanks for adding Alien Dream to the High Calling Blogs Writing & Publishing widget.

Way cool! I added it to my blog, too.

I’m not bugging you today. You’ve got work to do.

Brandon, I liked the flux capacitor reference myself. But the general scifi theme of the joke made me happy.

Merrie, glad you like the widget! We keep losing the graphic, so I’ll see if I can install it again by saving the image on my own site.

lol,

Well, I want to send email forward in time. Maybe to the year 2065. I’ll be dead but my daughters will hopefully still have the google accounts I setup for them. (so they could have their names. We all have “ourname@gmail.com”

So I could drop in some “from beyond the grave” emails just to mess with them. They would laugh and say, “That was so dad.”

Google strikes again. This is almost as good as last year’s Broadband Connectivity Via Sewer prank. :)
