Note To Self
Whenever I have an idea I email it to myself on my phone. Most of the time this works out pretty well, but sometimes iPhone’s predictive typing feature gets some words wrong and I don’t notice. For instance, when I had an idea to do a parody song I wanted to send myself “Octopus’s garden ringo singing about how they let him sing.” It came out as…
Octopuses green dingo singing about joe they let him sing
I love self-emails and that they often originate from a barstool or dance floor or busy sidewalk—wherever the idea strikes mid-conversation. Most are from respectable daylight hours, but here are some… other examples.
