Hey all,

I buy stuff on Amazon. You know the way Amazon
sees what you buy and makes recommendations?
Sometimes you get these odd juxtapositions.
Like just now for example. Amazon recommended
that I buy "Model Driven Architecture with UML"
and immediately adjacent to that, it recommended
that I buy a waterproof mattress pad. I guess the
presumption is that I'm going to wet the bed after
reading it. It makes a certain strange kind of sense.

TTFN

I don't know if we should laugh or cry about that...
