Now is now, but you’re watching this video when it’s not now… even though it’s now when I recorded this video! This web resource is pretty awesome, and will let you send email now to yourself in the future!

FutureMe is based on the principle that memories are less accurate than emails. You remember those letters you had to write your future self back in high school, don’t you? This is the same type of idea. You can write a letter to yourself, and use FutureMe to determine the date it should be delivered on.

Why not write a letter to yourself that talks about where you want to be with your career in one year? Send it to yourself a year from now, and then take a look objectively at how well you met those goals. Write anything and everything to yourself. You can make it public or private. Beware, though – if you choose to make the email public, the entire world can read it!

If you choose to register for the site, you can also send future emails to other people. On a sad – but poignant – note, a recent cancer victim sent a “future” email to his loved ones during his final days on Earth. The emails were received a few weeks later, and were very important to those he had left behind. You can use FutureMe in similar ways, or for anything your mind can dream up, whether it’s serious or fun!

Go ahead, you know you want to try it out. It’s free, and it’s easy to do. Check out FutureMe today! Now! Not tomorrow, but now – the REAL now!

My clocks all hate me for this:

The early onset of daylight saving time in the USA this year may have been for naught. The move to turn the clocks forward by an hour on March 11 rather than the usual date in early April was mandated by the federal government as an energy-saving effort — but the move appears to have had little impact on power usage. “We haven’t seen any measurable impact,” said Jason Cuevas, spokesman for Southern Co., one of the nation’s largest power companies, echoing comments from several large utilities.

But we’re not out of the woods yet:

Congress plans to evaluate the effects of the earlier switch to daylight saving time. Perhaps the biggest effect was felt by the computer and gadget users who needed software patches to keep their digital devices on the right time. Dan Hermann, a computer programmer in New York, updated his gadgets to the new daylight saving time three weeks ago, only to have them automatically shift forward by another hour on Sunday, the previous start date for daylight saving time.

So, is the government to blame – or are scientists working for the government to blame? Science geeks, help me out here. What really happened?
