I want one.Courtesy of Evil Mad Scientist (thanks, guys!)This would go along really well with my business card case. And probably ensure that I remain unmarried for the rest of my life.

Idea: Online Speed Dating

I

I was reading an article by Paul Graham, and he mentioned this… “…dating sites currently suck far worse than search did before Google. They all use the same simple-minded model.
