Contrariwise

Sometimes I love how huge the Internet is. While wandering around online at work the other day (I have a lot of downtime in the off semesters), I stumbled across Pinger. The basic concept is that you can ping someone by leaving a voice-based text message. It sounds really useful for those times when you’re calling someone, but you actually don’t want them to pick up; you just want to leave a message. I’m not sure if I’ll ever use it, but it sounds cool.

The other thing I found looks amazing: the Easy Read. It’s the coolest book holder I’ve ever seen. I wish I could afford one, but grad school applications, rent, and one last semester of textbooks are looming over me.
