The existence of this collection bothers the hell out of me for the soul reason that it is made up of songs entirely from my high school and undergrad years. As if it wasn’t bad enough they play that shit on the classic alternative station on XM ;)

I’ve never seen a company have as many simultaneous, completely separate, ad campaigns at the same time as Geico has now. They’ve got:

The confessional series with Mrs. Butterworth and the Pips. 5 stars.
The continuing Gecko commercials. 4 stars.
The “Mike Wallace” series with the annoying kid. 1 star.
The continuing Cavemen commercials. -5,000 stars.
And the standard factual commercials.

Seriously, what the hell? I’ve never seen anyone mix it up this much.

Custome Time for GMail.

It’s not as laughable as it seems, since SMTP lets you set whatever time you want anyway. I’ve even done this trick before. Yes, the person you send it to sees it in received order, but it shows it as being sent whenever you wanted it to be sent from. Back when I was testing SilverMail I sent people messages from Bill Clinton in 1992.
