April 1st: Gmail launches.

December 30th, 2004 by POMP

GmailI’m a fucking idiot. In my tired stupor, I went to log into Gmail, and saw an announcement that it launches April 1st. So in a pathetic attempt to scoop the other nerds still up at this hour, I quickly submitted the story to digg.com.

It turns out this was just Google’s way of celebrating their accomplishments in 2004. So to celebrate my stupidity, I offer you, the anonymous blog reader–twelve more Gmail accounts:

Seventy-Six ][ Seventy-Seven ][ Seventy-Eight ][ Seventy-Nine ][ Eighty ][ Eighty-One ][ Eighty-Two ][ Eighty-Three ][ Eighty-Four ][ Eighty-Five ][ Eighty-Six ][ Eighty-Seven



More Gmail goodness coming soon …

Green Lights at Airport

December 29th, 2004 by POMP

I live in Colorado, so this story is especially fucked up to me. And the fact the NORAD is in Colorado Springs, and this also happened in Cleveland makes it even creepier:



Associated Press

“Federal officials are investigating reports from two pilots who say bright lights were aimed from the ground into their cockpits as they headed into the Colorado Springs Airport.

Both planes landed without problems on Monday night.

Federal officials issued a warning this month that terrorists might try to down aircraft by shining powerful lasers into cockpits to blind pilots during landing approaches.

The pilots heading into Colorado Springs about 8-30 p-m Monday reported a bright, pulsating light shining into the cockpits. Colorado Springs police say the pilots described the lights as “green laser lights.”

F-B-I spokeswoman Monique Kelso says authorities haven’t determined what type of light was used, and F-B-I agents are conducting interviews.” [Link]
