Hat tip to [livejournal.com profile] nounsandverbs to posting this.

So do y'all remember the "You Will," ad campaign from AT&T in the early 90s? I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE these commercials.



I'm a little floored by the fact that we can do about 95% of these things now. Not quite as depicted, but damn, CLOSE ENOUGH.

Guys, the future is awesome.

Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today!

That assistant in your computer at the end is so nearly here, what with all the calendar and to-do list widgets and sites we have. Someone just needs to combine them with a thingie to check them for you and talk to you! :)

A few of my friends spent 3 years working on a project trying to do just that for DARPA. It didn't turn out particularly well, though that was as much a management SNAFU as a technological problem. One of the metrics they used was how many PhD theses it would take to solve the underlying CS issues.

SO COOL. Thanks for posting!
Now, when do we get those back to the future hoverboards?

OT

You may want to reverse the order of your dragon page so the eggs and hatchlings are at the top.

It usually is custom sorted with the littleuns on top, but I've been fucking with the API so it's sorted by reverse date temporarily.

OK, cause I scrolled to give you clicks. Also is it me or is that site just godawful slow, like molasses flow faster uphill in winter in Maine than that site.

Wow wow, that was so cool to watch those again. It's crazy, because I'm OLD, but I can barely even remember Life Before Internet.
