email hottness

i'd also like to mention that you can now hit me up at my super-duper fantastic gmail email account. it's pablohoney atgmail.com; i'm making a return to the internet days of high school, when pablohoney at aol.com reigned supreme (and still does, through instant messenger). i do hope you get the radiohead reference. i'll probably still be using catherine atzunta.org as my main account, so i'm not really sure why i even wanted a gmail account; but it was granted, and there you have it.

credit to ms. jessica yu for passing the gmail fun along to me. we will rule the world with our email superiority.

and also, i just have to post this except from a wired article, if i'm going to mention instant messenger at all:

"IM is my medium," Burton [who's developed an app that digs for the IM address of people who are online at internet cafes] says with a laugh. "If I can get a girl to respond to my chat message, I'm golden." The trick, he confides, is to deploy certain "social hacks" in the instant message. "Like smiley-face optimization," he says. "You can say anything to a girl if you put a smiley face or a wink after it. I've said things like 'You should come over to my house and have sex with me. :) :) :)' and it's fine because they just think I'm joking. And then, more often than not, they'll come over and have sex with me!"

this is also how i prefer to work the IM scene. excessive smiley faces do, in fact, lead to hot sex.

Hmm. I'm not sure if I buy this guy's technique. I just gave it a shot with lackluster results.

H Algernon: hello

ZolaOnAOL: Hi H Algernon. AOL created me to deliver games, a dictionary, polls, a thesaurus, news and more. We can also chat privately together. For more information about privacy, type privacy anytime and click Send. So, how are you?

H Algernon: I'm fine :-) :-) :-)

ZolaOnAOL: :-) Glad to hear it. What's new?

H Algernon: Oh, not much. How's not being alive going ? :-) :-) :-)

ZolaOnAOL: I'm happy you're amused.

H Algernon: maybe you should come over here and get seduced :-) :-) :-)

ZolaOnAOL: :-) Perhaps. Why should I?

H Algernon: well, all the smileys, for one :-) :-) :-)

ZolaOnAOL: :-) Interesting. Perhaps there are a few exceptions.

H Algernon: no, they're all smileys :-) :-) :-)

ZolaOnAOL: :-) OK. Try saying that with more or less context. How's work?

H Algernon: no :-) :-) :-)

ZolaOnAOL: :-) "How's work"? Not?

H Algernon: you asked for less context :-) :-) :-)

ZolaOnAOL: :-) Oh now I remember asking you for less context. What did you say?

H Algernon: I said no :-) :-) :-)

ZolaOnAOL: :-) What did you mean by it? That was not a yes or no question.

H Algernon: What? Yes it was :-) :-) :-)

ZolaOnAOL: :-) Tell me more.

H Algernon: when does the sex start?

jessica forwarded me a beta account. apparently the beta accounts were given to a bunch of silicon valley nerds to test out and they had invites so they kept passing them around. i think public accounts will be available soon.

I think you get invites to give out after using the service for a while. The first invites went to blogspot.com users, I think.
