GlassBooth Matches You with the Right Candidate

October 16, 2008


Web-based political survey Glassbooth asks for your stance on a series of issues and returns the closest political candidate match. Choose what issues are important to you at Glassbooth, like taxation, gun control, reproductive rights, etc. and then answer a series of questions about those topics, such as whether or not you support or oppose abolishing the estate tax. Once you complete the relatively brief survey, Glassbooth compares your beliefs to those of the Presidential hopefuls and gives you the results. Glassbooth returns the top three matches with a percentage of similarity and the ability to read about their views on all the issues you selected as important. I gave Glassbooth a try and it basically confirmed what I already thought I knew.  However, it is interesting to get some more in depth information about candidates on certain issues. All-in-all, I think this is a pretty cool, informative tool.

401-K(eg)

Deep thought of the day…

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.  It is called the 401-Keg.

Why Did They Have to Wait Until After I Graduated for This?

October 8, 2008

Sometimes I send messages I shouldn’t send. Like the time I told my Sociology professor why drinking was more fun that his take-home exam. Gmail can’t always prevent you from sending messages you might later regret, but this week they launched a new Labs feature called “Mail Goggles” which may help.

When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you’re really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click “send” to verify you’re in the right state of mind?


By default, Mail Goggles is only active late night on the weekend, as that is the time you’re most likely to need it. Once enabled, you can adjust when it’s active in the General settings.


Hopefully Mail Goggles will prevent many of you out there from sending messages you wish you hadn’t. Like that late email explaining why you’re leaving her and why you’re taking your Tupperware full of clothes with you.
