If you haven’t already checked out the link from my sidebar, you should go to kottke.org. He’s always got the best links. Today, it was to a (I think?) fake ad for an alarm clock. The genius is that it’s connected to the internet, and every time you press “snooze” it will donate money to your least favorite charity. Check it out:
Who would you donate to? It’s a good thing I’ve always been pretty good at waking up. I would hate to be donating any money to the men at the Coalition for Concerned Women. Even this morning, when the alarm went off right at 5:30, I was up, at ‘em and out the door on the way to the pool.
You know what is a real wake-up call for me, though? I’m going to be 30 in exactly one week. How do I prepare for such madness? I’m sure red wine will be involved. I think I’ll also create a new category for my blog. Most definitely by getting lots of calls from my mom reminding me that at this time in 1978 she was “so fat!”
In an unrelated note, I should have made it more clear that my resolution about the celebrity gossip thing was a joke, but sure enough, the news of the demise of Britney was all over my news feeds this morning, tucked right between Obama and Huckabee. (Now that’s a strange image.) So I guess I’m ready to speak educatedly about it now. But I really would prefer not to.
