Are you still alive?
A while back I posted about www.deadmansswitch.net. Here's the first e-mail they sent me to confirm that I'm still alive. I like how it's doesn't assume that I'm alive, but I was hoping that it would be something more formal. In either case it's still kind of disturbing.
Hello you,
this is your plain old regular email to remind you that you should check
back with us at Dead Man's Switch, so we know you're doing well.

Hope to see you there,
Dead Man's Switch staff
For the record: I don't have it setup to send any e-mails in the event that I don't respond.

Are you kidding me? You don't have any emails in the queue to send out in the event of your untimely death? How can you resist putting an email there?
PS. Did they really not capitalize the first sentence correctly?
You are right, it is creepy.
No, they didn't capitalize the first sentence. I copied it verbatim from the e-mail.
You could have an automated message prepared to insult all your enemies one week from the receipt of the deadmansswitch message. Then you have the last word despite your untimely demise. (Just a thought.)
