My life in your hands

(The following is the result of two conversations yesterday, one about Dave Gorman and the second about internet personal ads. It's also the result of a bit too much beer, or at least that's what I'll blame

OK

I've now made a nomination.

I suspect they'll say no; but the email has been sent.

Dawn.

This reminds me of...

Had you considered making it a vampire personal? Then again, I suppose you don't get to choose yourself.

Impressed!

No nomination, but this is a wild, original, hilarious idea. I hope that you get the right four authors and the results turn out to match up to the premise's promise. I hope that some version the full results gets published for general consumption at some point, though I can understand the need to restrict things while the experiment is in progress.

There could well be the gem of a not-BBC series in this; after all, every other sort of dating show has been done at least a couple of times by now.

I salute you!

After that, I'll let the ads run (and keep them updated so they're accessible) until 5 December, 2002.

It's now shortly after 5 December. No specifics (unless you feel like them, of course) but do you have any conclusions to be shared with the masses about how the experiment has gone so far?

A result, you could say...

...I'm now seeing a very nice American girl from Cambridge. :)

But I have to admit, I stopped keeping up the journal. I need to put a final entry in it.

In the end, only one of my friends did an ad. So it didn'treally work, unfortunately.

:) indeed - pleased to hear that it did bring about a good result.
