OF A GOLDEN AGE

Martin alerted me to the Gmail Labs’ “Mail Goggles” feature, wherein you have to answer math questions in order to confirm that you wish to send a message. Think of it as the “touch your nose” or “walk the straight line” test of drunken emailing. Of course, I like it because I like math. Big dork.

If you use Gmail though, there are myriad features in the Labs that you can use at any time. They range from aesthetics to organization, and then wholly random sanity-savers like “Take a Break,” which locks you out for 15 minutes and tells you to go take a walk or something.
