Luxurious Friday links
The weekend is almost here, and you’re still chained to your desk. (Or BlackBerry. Same difference.) Let these links inform and entertain you:
- The New York Times opens a fascinating box of worms on the science behind online dating. Apparently, many think that online daters are much too unskilled to pick their own mates. The work being put into the algorithms that can predict love is an amazing subject. Given that online dating is one of the biggest consistent moneymaking businesses in the online world, you can bet that the company that gets it right first is going to make a bundle.
- Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has put up its list of top PC gaming mods and the top independent games of 2007.
- DadLabs Lounge (“Taking back paternity”) will be filming an episode of their Web show “The Lounge” on Feb. 7 at the Tiniest Bar in Texas at 817 W. Fifth Street. They’re inviting dads to come have a beer or three. I got a chance to visit the new on-location set a few weeks ago and lo and behold, I ended up on video. Funny how that happens sometimes. The DadLabs fellows are giving away a $750 Mutsy stroller, so go check it out, dads.
- The American-Statesman and Austin360 now have mobile-friendly Web sites, which should make browsing the site handier. I’m hearing that iPhone users are seeing the full sites (which I thought was the point of having a full-featured iPhone browser), but as I said over here, if you just want headlines, why not subscribe to the RSS feeds?
- I’m still trying to wrap my head around a Yamaha digital piano that can download Internet radio music and play it live on the piano with accompaniment. Wow.
