Ali Bytes: Bullet-sized strategies for modern living

Have you heard of someecards.com? With the slogan “when you care enough to hit send,” this site has brilliantly captured the tackiness that so often characterizes e-communication using the tool that started it all: the ecard.

You can search through dozens of categories including, “cry for help” and “somewhat topical,” and even create your own. I just made this one to try it out and confirmed that it only takes a minute.  Consider yourself warned though: I imagine it could quickly turn into a battle of wit - with yourself.  Here is a sampling of some of the best I read but there are plenty more where these came from.  Which one is your favorite?

1. “Let’s force a jaded wait staff to go through the motions of singing you ‘Happy Birthday’”(send)
2. “Labor Day is a great opportunity to reflect on what you failed to accomplish this summer” (send)
3. “I still haven’t decided why I can’t come to your party”(send)
4. “Sorry your country has won fewer Olympic medals than Michael Phelps”(send)
5. “Let’s takes things to the previous level”(send)
6. “Sorry I spent three seconds reviewing the wedding invitation you spent three months on”(send)
7. “You must be excited to try convincing people you’re excited to move to Brooklyn”(send)
8. “Sorry your outdated religious views dismantled our perfectly fine relationship”(send)
9. “I’m leaning towards voting for the presidential candidate not endorsed by the worst president in American history”(send)
10. “I wish you’d taken the time to Google me”(send)
11. “You’ll never guess what I got you from your registry of pre-selected gifts”(send)
12. “Your Starbucks drink order embarrasses me”(send)
