October Randomness

1.  Nike “Fate” Commerical. Beautifully done!

2.  Gmail Goggles (Thanks to Trumpet for finding this).

According to the Gmail Labs blog, “Sometimes I send messages I shouldn’t send. Like the time I told that girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that late night email to my ex-girlfriend that we should get back together. Gmail can’t always prevent you from sending messages you might later regret, but today we’re launching a new Labs feature I wrote called Mail Goggles which may help.

When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you are really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you’re in the right state of mind?”

3.  New Orleans 100 Mixer

The New Orleans 100 is a worldwide initiative that will highlight and encourage discussion among millions about 100 of the most innovative and world-changing ideas to take root in the city since Katrina.

Come join us to celebrate the innovators, social entrepreneurs, and creative mavericks that make up the NOLA100.

RSVP is required and the secret location will be emailed on Monday, October 27th.
Come drink for a cause, party with a purpose, and hit up Rebirth for one dope after party. Everyone is invited, so tell all your friends!
