Bedpost: Track your sex life online

bedpostInternet dating must mean that more people are having dates and meeting up than ever before. Invariably this means that people are also having more sexual encounters, right? I’ve always wondered how, if one was so sexually active, you’d remember all the different people you encountered. Oddly enough about 4 years ago I had the idea for this site – an online diary of who you slept with and how they were – but I did nothing about it!

Bedpost lets you create an account where you can track your sexual activity. You tell it who you slept with, how long it lasted and give them a 5 star rating. It’s all a bit impersonal but if you’re the woman/man about town, maybe it’s just what you need.

The site is currently in private beta but I see so many applications for it. You could be reminded to have a sexual health check-up after every x number of shags, or if it starts to notice you’re having an enjoyable relationship with someone, suggest chocolate, flowers or sex toys as a gift. Do dating sites ask you to rate someone after you’ve met them? This is just a natural follow on to that.

It appears they are launching a ‘partner account’ which I can only assume would mean people in regular sexual relationships could rate each other and see if there was a differing of performance opinion. I’ll watch this site with, ahem, interest.


All British citizens get free Big Ben ringtone from government

I’m actually not joking, either. If you visit http://www.bigben.parliament.uk you can nab yourself a Bing Ben chiming sound file, that Parliament.uk are marketing as a ring tone!

Who would do this? Anyone?


Loyal employee gets Microsoft tattoo, then they lay him off!

Microsoft Blue Monster TattooPoor bloke. A certain Dan Woodman got a job for Microsoft back in 2008. He was so pleased about it. So pleased that he only went and got himself a corporate tattoo. Not the brand’s logo but a blue monster, apparently something used in internal communications. So pleased that he even blogged about it. Wow.

Sadly for Dan, he – and 1,400 other employees – got laid off leaving Dan with a rather bitter memory. The thing is, unlike the Murphys, he’s not bitter.

“Working at Microsoft has been the greatest experience of my life and I have no desire to forget about it” he continues that “even if I don’t get back into Microsoft right away (which is, by the way, my plan!), then I have a reminder that even outside of Microsoft, I need to do my best to change the world every single day.”

Wow.
