A great way to get out of a boring meeting
Aug 28, 2008 Found Online, Just Plain Awesomeness
…or a bad date!
There is a website called “Get Me Out of Here“ that will call you at a specified time and give you an “out” to whatever scenario you are in at the time. You give it the date and time, your phone number, and then you choose from a list of different conversations you can have.
When I tested it, I did the “Burglar alarm” call. When you answer the phone, it tells you what to say to make it sound authentic. There are several options, but if you have a meeting coming up, this might be a great way to escape the clutches of boredom.
iPhone + MS Exchange = Crazy Delicious

Anyone catch the Anyways, Apple announced today that starting in June, the iPhone will fully support Microsoft Exchange, a la Blackberry style. In other words, you can use it just like a Blackberry at work. I don’t use a Blackberry, but if I did, I would switch in a heartbeat.
Anyone out there planning on dropping the Crackberry for an iPhone?
I just cracked a handset

Where I work, we sell digital phone systems made by Nortel. The main phone we sell is also the one that we use here at our desks. They are great phones, but even great phones have their limits.
It has been said around these parts that these phones are so durable that cars can run over them. Well, we were joking around about that, so I thought it would be a good idea to stand on the handset-part of the phone. So I disconnected it, laid it on the floor, and started to stand on it. I mean, hey, a car can run over it and it will be fine, right? Wrong.
It made a loud CRACK sound, at which point I stepped off of it. Would it have completely broken in half? Maybe? We all were rolling on the floor laughing at that. A car won’t hurt it, but I will.
I need to lay off the hot wings.
