The consequences were most unfortunate. For a full year my Amazon homepage was inundated with recommendations like “Hungry for you,” “Guilty Collections Vol. 1,” ” Cowboys & Angels,” and “Mysterious Skin.”

The porn titles eventually came at a lower frequency, but to this day Amazon still classifies me as a homosexual male. I think my order & search history, filled with interior deisgn, cooking, fitness, advertising, personal care and fashion books, has only made it worse. This just goes to show you, actions speak louder than words. Especially online behaviors.

Still trying to wrap my head around the implications. Maps are augmented with crowdsourced user-generated content (Flickr photos, video, apps, etc), linked to telescopic data and much more I can hardly even cover. Watch and see.

We are, thankfully, one minute further away from nuclear annihilation. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists were optimistic in New York when they announced that they were moving the clock one minute away from midnight, a symbol of our global efforts to, “bend the arc of history toward a world free of nuclear weapons.”

But in the wake of all the headlines, photographs and news stories capturing the hell on Earth that is happening in Haiti, the Doomsday clock and it’s measure of human caused cataclysm seems very abstract.
