Bloggity Blog Blog

I've recently become rather put off by the style/fashion-y/design blogs that I've followed religiously for the past few years because of the simple fact that many of them have evolved into i-just-had-a-baby/look-at-my-cute-baby/danish-high-chairs-are-the-best blogs with a spattering of design thrown in. And because I cannot share in their joy due to my current pre-spinsterhood status, I've found myself at a loss for fun sites to waste my valuable time on. I suppose I can choose to read books, but that's an extra thing to carry on the subway. So imagine my delight when a friend suggested I take a gander at OkCupid's blog. A blog about online dating? Harrowing. A blog about online dating that utilizes aggregated data and statistical analysis to find reasonable sequiturs about sex and human attraction? Awesome! OkTrends's excessive use of charts and graphs are a giant plus in my book, too, because I sure do love me a good graph. And everyone could use a visual when the topic is sex.







Also, the entry titles are titillating. See Don't Be Ugly By Accident! and Rape Fantasies and Hygiene By State.

In unrelated news, here are some tunes that I understand those darn kids are listening to these days:

SebastiAn - Love In Motion (feat. Mayer Hawthorne)
