Google and Eisenbraun's Offer New Services

Carrying on its tradition of announcing important breakthroughs on April 1, Google announced today its new “custom time” feature for Gmail. You can now back-date an email so that it appears in proper sequence in the recipient’s in-box. Say, for example, you forgot to email grandma on her birthday. No problem; use the “custom time” feature and send an email from the past! Although this might raise some problems with respect to the space-time continuum, Google explains that “Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality.”

Also today, Eisenbraun’s has put out a new catalog of resources for the study of the ancient near east. I’m particularly hankering after the cuneiform typeface insert.
