Software from Mooj that rmeinds you to update your Twitter status.

From the page: “The software runs in the background and periodically reminds you to update your status on Twitter. With the click of a button you can update your status directly from within 40Twitter. You can even choose how often 40Twitter reminds you.”

This is interesting, but I still think that exposure to both pornography & violence desensitises and leads users to more extreme content.

When I first encountered porn on the Internet about 15 years ago, it was usually the equivalent of glamour shots. Now simply browsing around blogs you’ll very quickly be exposed to hardcore acts and some things you’d never have imagined. How can that be a good thing?

When you’re sick and tired of dealing with hair, you either shave it all off or get so angry and old that it falls out on its own volition.

From the page: “Independently, green tea has been found by Japanese researcher Takatoshi Murase to boost exercise endurance in mice up to 24% while spurring the use of fat as energy. It might become added to the list of substances that baseball players and other athletes are tested for. Dr. Murase estimates that to match the effects on the mice, these athletes would need to drink about four cups of green tea a day over several weeks.”
