Evil genius: ditch 10 Facebook friends, get a free Whopper. And this is not your typical silent Facebook de-friending. The Whopper Sacrifice app sends the poor de-friended sap a note! Twisted. Begrudging respect to Burger King. Burger King! Closing in on 30,000 sacrificed friends at the time of this writing. Unbelievable. (via waxy)

Jeff Atwood on Swoopo:
I just watched an 8GB Apple iPod Touch sell on swoopo for $187.65. The final price means a total of 1,251 bids were placed for this item, costing bidders a grand total of $938.25
How is that possible? Well, each time you bid you pay a $0.75 fee, which raises the the auction price by $0.15 and extends the close time by up to 20 seconds.
So I’m looking at a Nokia phone right now (picked at random off the Swoopo home page) where the bidding is up to $880, which means so far bidders have collectively paid well over $4,000 in fees to Swoopo.
Evil. Genius. I’m agape, and vaguely nauseated.

Hi
I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is stuff I found interesting that I thought you might like too. Here are some of my favorites if you want to start there. Mostly I link to other people, but some stuff is mine, like:
- A list of my favorite action scenes
- A bunch of movies I liked that are available to watch instantly on Netflix
- Fun with Bic pens: the Earth Pen and the Fridge Pen
- My very own oatmeal recipes that sound totally gross but are actually good
Spillover
I am loving Instapaper, and use if to sock away stuff to read. Here are a bunch of articles I read recently and liked.
