Modern Day Notecards Featuring Subtle Geeky One-Liners
Well color me geeky happy — who needs Tech Dating tips when cards like this exist?! Call me old-fashioned, but I just love cute geek-inspired cards.
Even if he didn't friend me on Facebook, waited longer than three days to call after our first date, or has a ton of female contacts, I'd still let one of these irritating tech-behaviors slide if he slipped one of these flirtatious letterpress cards ($7 for a set of six) in the mail.

Google Latitude is cool — you can see where someone is at any given moment (as long as the phone running it is on, that is) but it also completely weirds me out.
I don't mind that my boyfriend knows where I am at all times with Latitude (which can be shared as the exact location or just the city), but it's weird. So weird that I'm cool with having it installed, but I refuse to check out where he is (unless there's an emergency).
