Do you come home after a night out and send drunk e-mails you later regret? If you use Gmail, there’s a new feature in Gmail Labs that may be of interest to you. “Mail goggles” allows you to set certain times of the day when you will probably be drunk if you’re e-mailing. During those times, you’re forced to answer a set of math problems within a certain time limit to prove that you’re sober enough to send e-mail.
Hmmm… I see this becoming a feature on phones within a year to prevent drunk texting… and it’ll probably be added to WordPress soon to prevent drunk blog posts. Although, if that option ever appears, I’ll keep it turned off, because I think my drunk posts are some of my best ones.
