I’m lumping Google Wake Up Kit in with the Gmail Custom Time – not super funny.

    I haven’t seen coverage here yet of the other Google Calendar feature that was released today– the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button. I clicked on an empty space on my calendar to add a new event, saw the button on the normal add event UI, felt lucky, and scored a Date with Angelina Jolie tonight at 8pm.

    But it was only beginner’s luck. I tried my luck again for tomorrow night and got stuck with a Date with Tom Cruise. Oh well.

    Surely, Google makes a lot of money on April Fool’s day … so does TechCrunch :)

    Google also launched ‘The Rutabaga’ as a auto-generated competitor to The Onion:

    There is a voice-enabled calendar at http://www.etipme.com. It doesn’t use SMS, instead it delivers notifications via phone. Moreover, using any phone you can call to this calendar and get your appointments.

    “The “wake up” notification uses several progressively more annoying alerts to wake you up. First it will send an SMS message to your phone. If that fails, more coercive means will be used. The kit includes an industrial-sized bucket and is designed to be connected to your water main for automatic filling. In addition, a bed-flipping device is included for forceful removal from your sleeping quarters. Learn more” – stupid geek-sense-of-humor
