Mad Men Yourself
Do you want to be Don Draper? Well, now you can... or at least you can look like you work with Don Draper. AMC has a web page where you can create a sleek, stylish, Mad Men version of you! When you're done, you can save your new image and use it as your Facebook profile pic. And the web page plays awesome early 60's music to boot. So, Mad Men yourself!

I want a flowchart to my heart, too!
The free dating site Ok Cupid now has a blog.
OK Cupid's matching method is purely mathematical. Instead of making you answer psychological questionaires, or squish you into some sort of profiling scheme, the site has you answer other users' questions, both how you would answer the question and how you ideal match would answer the question. Then you indicate how important that question is to them. For example:
Would you date an atheist?
- Yes
- No
Your Ideal Match:
- Yes
- No
Importance:
- Mandatory
- Very Important
- Somewhat Important
- A Little Important
- Irrelevant
Your answers, and your ideal mate's answers, then get thrown into a big mathematical formula that calculates your matchability with other OK Cupid users.
Today, on the OK Cupid blog, the creators announced they have now come up with a way to create a Flowchart to Your Heart - a graphical representation of questions and answers and how it can all result in scoring a date or getting rejected. They don't seem to have released this to masses yet. I hope they do - I really want to see the flowchart to my heart.
