Where was Google when I was in college?! 

Marissa—you remember Marissa, who subbed in as the New Kid on the Blog when I was on my honeymoon?—just sent me a note about some hysterical and genius new Gmail functionality: Mail Goggles:

When activated, the program will force a user to solve a series of math problems before allowing any message to be sent. They are not terribly difficult, but do serve as an extra line of defense in what can be a very dangerous habit. The service is set by default to kick in only on weekend nights, but you can change the settings to apply whenever. As for drunk dialing and texting, you’re still on your own.
