Uncanny Valley
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008I think this graph could probably have more of a heartbeat shape to it, as the “small animals” portion should be at least as high as “people”.
Otherwise, it is an excellent observation. You would feel bad if you saw a puppy fall down a flight of stairs. But a clown? COMEDY GOLD! Then there’s the ventriloquist dummy. Yeah, there’s a line to throw that thing down the stairs.
The Twitter Effect
Monday, April 7th, 2008Mcpaige drew this graph showing the inversely proportional relationship between the number of Twitter updates and the number of IRL dates. This makes sense, though, for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that if you spend more time Twittering, you are spending less time lining up dates. The second reason is a little less straightforward (and I’m proud I picked up on it). If you post more on Twitter, you are likely to reveal more about yourself. Perhaps reveal a little too much. (Sorry Jim! You just happened to be the best example I could think of)
