Is this - the gossage-vardabedian paper by Woody Allen. Please please please take the time to read it. It’s incredibly funny.

What ‘playing on the internet’ gave me

Filed under: About — tom @ 8:49 pm

So while I’m whiling away the evening playing on the internet I thought I’d throw up a blog post about everything ‘playing on the internet’ has given me in my life:

  • It taught me to play poker. Sure, it was expensive to start with but all hobbies are and once I’d gotten the hang of it I’ve made a fairly healthy sum of money from it (which some day will be spent on hookers and blow. Just you wait….). Not to mention the free trip to Vegas!

  • It gave me a career. Reading blogs and finding funny shit online is my job. Bonza.

  • I found the bigchill festival and with it the associated forum where lots of lovely people have shared gigabytes upon gigabytes of good music with me, not to mention the joys of the festival itself (officially the best weekend of the year).

  • It also taught me how to make mp3 mixes so I can make virtual mixtapes.

  • I found my girlfriend online.

  • The interweb gave me every single episode of seinfeld right there on my computer. Seinfeld got me into good comedy and opened my eyes to the horrors of life. Thanks Jerry!

Is there anything else to life?

BUT HOW DO THEY KNOW??!?

Filed under: About — tom @ 8:14 am

I’ve been consistently impressed by Amazon’s personalised recommendations and I often browse through their recommendations before I make my emusic downloads each month. So they’re good at it, ok, they have a lot of data to show me, ok.

But how in the world do they know this?

Amazon’s recommendations to me are just…spooky

For those of you who have ever played poker with me, well ‘aggressive player’ doesn’t quite describe my style of play but it comes close!
