"Web app WotWentWrong is a “dating advice portal” that offers people the opportunity to find out why a date didn’t go so well, or provide feedback to someone else explaining what turned them off. The service aims to provide productive social networking that helps people break bad relationship patterns."
~ New App Gives You Feedback From Bad Dates About What Went Wrong @PSFK Thanks, but no thanks, technology.
"The best book I read last year — and by “best” I really just mean the book that made the strongest impression on me — was The Shallows, by Nicholas Carr. Like most people, I had some strong intuitions about how my life and the world have been changing in response to the Internet. But I could neither put those intuitions into an argument, nor be sure that they had any basis in the first place. Carr persuasively — and with great subtlety and beauty — makes the case that it is not only the content of our thoughts that are radically altered by phones and computers, but the structure of our brains — our ability to have certain kinds of thoughts and experiences."
~ A Year in Reading: Jonathan Safran Foer, from The Millions (via wwnorton) Uh-oh. (via wwnorton)
Good News Ladiessssssssssssssssss.
Hopstop is now telling you how many calories you will burn on your journey. And Netflix is telling you how many tears you will cry at that romantic drama. And Pandora is telling you how long that Miley Cyrus song will be in your head. And Facebook is telling you how many calories you will consume if you friend your ex.
And you can upload a photo of your outfit to the NYT and they’ll tell you if you should expect to be date-raped!
"Unless Amazon is treating the U.S. patent system as a venue for elaborate, belated April Fools’ jokes, this appears to be very real. Here’s how the system would work, if implemented. If you are the victim of repeated bad gifts (that happen to be bought via Amazon), you would log on to the site and could tweak your profile. You could add Uncle Albert to a sort of “do-not-gift” list; anything he bought for you in the future would be converted into an Amazon gift certificate (“supposedly the gift-conversion system will auto-generate a thank-you note,” says Reuters)."
No, seriously.
Anytime someone asks me to fax something, I punch a wall.

Email I sent to the IT department last week:
Hypothetical question guys – if someone accidentally got melty chocolate sprinkles stuck in her computer keyboard in a fairly disastrous way, how would we go about fixing that and how mad would you be?”
Still waiting on that response, guys.
