Google is waking me up

I enabled sms notifications in Google Calendar and set my time zone to GMT +1. It’s working great… most of the time.

This morning, Google woke me up at 4 am, 4.20 am and 5 am to remind me that today is my friend Floriana’s friend Dionino’s birthday. I won’t be able to forget all day, and neither will my co-workers. Yes, I’m very cranky when I don’t get enough sleep.

Happy birthday Dionino!

Google Mirror

The guys at alltooflat.com created a Google mirror, literally. Very funny. Even the search results it produces are backwards. The default active button is the I’m-feeling-lucky, or in this case: ykcuL gnileeF m’I!
