New studies have shown that navigating the web can improve your ability to make complex decisions and are better decision makers (could it be all those banner ads asking us to choose Brittany Spears or Hillary Duff to win a free iPod?) It seems web browsing actually stimulates the mind more than just reading standard books.
Whatever it is, it’s changing our brains and it’s awesome. I feel smarter just reading this and this.

I have to say, I think yougotbeer.com is a brilliant idea. You can now buy anyone across the country a beer that they can redeem wherever they live. Huge places like TGIFridays, Chilli’s and Bennigan’s take part in the program, so no matter where you are, there’s probably a place to redeem your brew.
Buy your interweb or WOW buddies a drink, hooray!
Personally, I’d rather see a cocktail one, but this is a good start.
