Posted by Lurnto in Food & Drink, Work on July 2nd, 2009
My work colleague had her lunch stolen from the office fridge last week and I thought it might have been the cleaners throwing away rotten food. I think she had a Ross moment, which is a reference to an episode of Friends, where Ross Geller had his lunch eaten by a work colleague and he was extremely angry.
Don’t do a Ross and protect your lunch with these handy tips from the video. I wouldn’t advise on the piece of tape/platic in your sandwich though.

Get help with your decisions with Hunch.com
Posted by Lurnto in Electronics & Internet on June 28th, 2009
I came across Hunch.com the other day and it’s a new search engine but it’s not like a Google or Bing, but instead it helps you with your decisions. So say you wanted to ask “What digital camera shall I buy?” or “What contact lenses is best for me?” then try out Hunch.com. It asks you 10 questions and learns your personality, therefore giving you a better decision for your question. The more you use it the better it will get. Even if you think the decision is dubious you can correct it or let the team know it wasn’t quite accurate.
I was impressed with the site so try it out for yourself. There isn’t a video on how to use the site but when you first land there its pretty straight forward and easy to use. I did find a video with Hunch.com’s chief scientist, Hugo Liu, who explains more about the site.
