Lately, scientists have been working on experiments involving photons and slits and such suggest the mind-bending concept that the future can leak into the present. Physicist Jeff Tollaksen of George Mason University says the weak measurements may show that “something that happens now is affected by something that happens in the future. It suggests that the universe has a destiny — a destiny that is out there and coming back to us from the future.”
Well, that last part is a stretch (quantum destiny? Not so much...) but certainly gives one something to chew on for a while.

Like, OMG! Stop the presses! Spice Girls are back in action!
The long-awaited reunion tour announcement has nation breathing sigh of relief and 30-something soccer moms jumping for joy.
(Pardon me while I go throw up.)

Jaimee Choos... has a nice ring to it, dunnit?
This is actually pretty cool...
Steve Madden lets you design your own shoes in the colors & styles you actually want (as opposed to having to live with whatever miserable selection is left in your size at their store).

"Women prefer new clothes over sex, survey finds" -- WTF??
From Yahoo News today:
"Women on average say they would be willing to give up sex for 15 months for a closet full of new apparel, with 2 percent ready to abstain from sex for three years in exchange for new duds, according to a new survey of about 1,000 women in 10 U.S. cities."
Oh my God -- who the *fuck* are these freakish women and why do they say things like that? I mean for Christ's sake - I like a good pair of shoes as well as the next girl (just ask anyone who has known me for 5 minutes) but buying a really sexy new pair of stilettos ALWAYS makes me want to go home and have sex while I wear them.
Now, if they had asked me I'd have thrown off the curve.
I'd totally give up buying new clothes (and maybe the shoes too... it depends whether we're talking Jimmy Choos or Manolos. Big difference.) for 15 months (okay, maybe just 2) for just an hour's worth of great sex with Josh Duhamel or a *very* close lookalike.
;)
That's alright, ladies. Go shopping. Leaves more for me.

Shoe Rolodex?
If this weren't so ugly (why does it have to look like one of those super loud industrial strength fans they use in restaurant kitchens??) I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Ok, maybe not. There's just something about the visually pleasing aesthetic of my stacked shoeboxes with their polaroid pictures taped to the front...
Is that so wrong?
(Thanks Popgadget!)

Giddy up.
When asked if the visual aesthetic had a name, the Chevy spokesperson replied, "Yeah -- Bitchin".

Clearly these "experts" don't understand the value of Retail Therapy...
"People exaggerate how much happiness is bought by an extra few thousand," Oswald said. "The quality of relationships has a far bigger effect than quite large rises in salary.... It's much better advice, if you're looking for happiness in life, to try to find the right husband or wife rather than trying to double your salary."
Like, oh my God, what century is this? What a load of crap! The number of times a new pair of shoes made me happy vs. the number of times my ex-husband made me unhappy = a ratio of 1 to 100000000.
In other words? Of course money buys happiness. Screw the Prozac - I'll take Bloomies.

Napster: Help Wanted. Must be able to make coffee and pole dance.
For once, I'm speechless. I'm guessing there's not much diversity in the workplace over there, unless the Napster Girl also types 70 wpm and makes a mean cuppa coffee...

Well, um... like, DUH!
"Co-founder Sergey Brin said it occurred to him this summer as he scanned the 50 or so products available across the company's Web sites that users were probably getting overwhelmed. 'It's worse than that,' he said. 'It's that I was getting lost in the sheer volume of the products that we were releasing."
How concerned are you that it took someone influential enough to do something about it this long to wake up and smell the stink of all of those launched products decomposing in a sky high pile of new products ignored once they achieved maximum cool-ideas-generating-great-PR results?
Maybe the SS Googlebloat is coming in for a rehaul?

Drum roll, please...
I HAVE JUST LANDED THE COOLEST JOB EVER!
No, really! I have!
If it were any cooler, my name would be Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik.
"But how can she say this?!", you ask?
Because all of my girl friends, gay friends and (metrosexual) guy friends are positively green with envy.
So, feel free to congratulate me... I'm the new Sr. Product Manager for a company called Glam.com.
Whats Glam? Celebrity gossip, uber-fun quizzes, fashion, beauty, shopping and trés chic technology - all wrapped up in one fabulous, glamorous website.

In love with words...
I'm head-over-heels in love with the writing style belonging to the new Times perfume reviewer. Lush, erotic, visceral & vivid, Chandler Burr uses words to describe scents the way Van Gogh used paints to describe a starry night...
Emotive, evocative sentences like "Pomegranate Noir is like a box of truffles with the lid on, sweet bits of darkness, waiting." and "this scent is like spraying a layer of twilight on your body." make me tremble with the pleasure of falling in love with words all over again... the kind of love that stirs the butterflies around in your belly.
