You Are Not A Unique And Beautiful Snowflake

I am getting increasingly unnerved by how well computer models are predicting and knowing me, based on my habits and input. I did a quick run through on this [DEAD LINK] Physical Attraction Test which Badly Dubbed Boy had up on his blog. Its rewarding to find out I "don't buy into society's check list for 'mainstream' attractiveness" and consider "attraction is about the total package" as well as a preference for "natural looking women".

It was also funny to have the feedback tell me the traits I like most in women are those which Mrs Dio has - uncanny or what? The test has a lot of fast reaction type things to do to get the unconscious working. Worth taking a bit of time as its interesting if nothing else - I surprised myself with its results.

Then yesterday I clicked on to Amazon to look for something to find its top 3 recommendations for me to buy were three firm favourite albums (out of the multitude I have). Ok, based on past sales and recommendations its sort of understandable, but constantly seeing my tastes and favourites displayed like that is getting to be strange - am I really that predictable? Apparently so.

It told me I should check out: Kitchens Of Distinction's Love Is Hell, Iggy And The Stooges' Raw Power and Nico's The End - that would be an incredibly powerful marketing tool, if only it didn't keep giving me the ones I already own.
