Are you tired? Tell us why.

 Michael, Don't you owe us an explanation ?

Explanation: I discovered this site in 1997, and have been mailing them regularly. They have never replied. I am profoundly mystified.

You mail them everytime you're tired or just now and then? I mean: I'm sure Michael expects some measure of methodicality from us.

Just now and then.

And you wonder why he doesn't reply? Tchah!

Maybe he reveals the secret in his book. Then again, maybe not.

(Aren't you getting TIRED of mailing him and never receiving a reply?)

But how do I get to buy it ?!?

It appears it was never published. This cached page shows the book (under "New and Notable
Premium Reads", on the left), but when you go to the link, it doesn't exist. Maybe the publishers were tired of waiting for him to finish it?

Mefite Camworld sat across from him (see third post from the bottom of the page) at SXSW. Perhaps he knows? I'm impressed that you have kept up the email.

I just sent him this e-mail:

Hi, Tired.com.

I'm tired of you not replying. So now there's a thread on metafilter about you. Maybe that will wake you up....

Regards, *JazZ*

If you're bored, you can ... go to a dumb portal.

If you're lonely you should not visit that site at work (redirects to pr0n).

If you're angry there's a forum.

Sad redirects to a directory.

Happy belongs to a drugstore. That's funny.

I'm kind of surprised that Carefree goes to a computer consulting company, instead of to a sugarless gum homepage.

It doesn't say anyone will reply. Just that you can tell them why you're tired.

acidrabbit, did you find out what happens if you are sleepy? If not, you should. (but wait 'til you're at home.)

How do you keep an idiot in suspense?

We used to have a similair page for Tickle Me Elmo.. press a button and it played a sound file of the Elmo doll recording and then you can send an email to Elmo. All totally illegal of course but we had thousands and thousands of emails from kids (and evil adults) for years talking to Elmo. Highly entertaining.

He's owned "tired.com" since 1997? I would have sold it to the makers of Vivarin in 1998 for 10 million dollars.
