The internet/cat paradigm has been shifted. They are now infiltrating your favorite website in one of the world’s greatest javascript marketing stunts of all time.

I now have a bookmark on my browser that turns all the websites on the internet version of the cat lady’s house. It would be in your best interest to do the same.

Visit Temptations cat snacks* fan page to see the impossible be made POSSIBLE.

*for those not in the know, cat snacks are the per-weight cat food equivalent of printer ink. They are also apparently the kitty version of black tar heroin.

Last summer, I wrote a blog post on The Earthquake Heard Around Social Media. You remember, the day where earthquakes hit both Colorado and New York and everyone went crazy on social media and posted anything they knew about what was happening in realtime? I made the point that social media, and Twitter specifically, is becoming one of the first places people find out about breaking news.

Now, on a day like today, I can’t help but wonder if Twitter is changing news again. This time it’s a little different.

One of my favorite websites, LifeHacker, published an article today on how to hack your iPhone so that it can “read your mind.” While the iPhone can’t actually read our minds (yet), the hacks they provide sure seem like it can come close. In short, the hacks allow you to program your iPhone to automatically perform certain tasks during certain times of the day or under certain circumstances (i.e., if you’re in range of your home Wi-Fi network, the screen lock feature is turned off because it’s assumed to be a “safe” location).

While I’m scared shitless of the idea that technology will be able to read our thoughts, motives, and emotions some day, I’m actually a fan of these programmable tweaks. Why? It saves us time that we spend hunched over our glowing little rectangles. Less time spent hunched over glowing rectangles means less time aimlessly clicking through our phone’s menu screens. Less time aimlessly clicking through menu screens means more time for human interaction. Okay, hopefully you see where I’m going with this. The point is, I think we’re finally building tech that’s built around us, not tech that requires us to change our lives to use it.
