Ponderings 1/23

This weeks Ponderings will look at headphones, flossing, liking and poking on Facebook, alarm clocks, ink pens, and jumping in puddles.

Facebook Like button:
1A. Any time I see someone write a comment on facebook saying: "I like this", Facebook should increase the size of the like button to half your screen, if someone does this twice then their whole screen should just be the like button.
1B. What if Facebook turned the Like button into the Likert Scale so you got too choose Strongly Dislike, Dislike, Neutral, Like, Strongly Like. Imagine how fun that would be. Marketing Companies could stop sending out surveys and just post statuses and hope people comment.
1C. Facebook should build a USB finger that pokes you every time you get poked?

2. Cell Phone Alarm Clocks usually go with a design of Snooze and Dismiss. What they should really do is have alarms with basic, advanced, and blind mode.

A. For people who can handle the snooze and dismiss buttons you have basic mode. And for people who struggle waking up you have advanced mode or blind mode.

B. In advanced mode you have to play a new random game everyday and the alarm gets louder every 10 seconds until you beat the game or break your phone.

C. In Blind mode you get a blank screen and the dismiss button is somewhere on the screen you have to click around until you find it. Every time you screw up the alarm gets louder.

Note: Blind and Advanced Mode may make people who live with you leave you but you will never sleep in again.

Headphones
3A. I hate people who don't check if others can hear their headphones before putting them on.

3B. And while we are on the subject of head phones why can't my headphones ever stay in my ear. On average I can get the headphone in one ear to stay in for about 30 seconds.

4. I have recently tried to start flossing more. If you ever break the part of the box to help cut the floss, floss becomes incredibly hard to break. But once you start flossing your teeth the threads split quickly and you need start over again. I don't think I am going to be able to listen to my Dentist for much longer.

5. I love using ink pens and I love being left handed but the two were not made for each other.

6. Jumping in puddles is fun but make sure everybody around you agrees with that statement.
