Somebody: Messaging App That Allows Strangers To Deliver Your Message
Somebody is a quirky, whimsical app that basically allows one person to send a message to another, but through a third party (stranger). The concept sounds a bit weird (and even a bit creepy at first), but I actually really dig the impulse behind it.

20 Day Stranger is a project that attempts to pair two complete strangers, sharing details of each person’s life via an iPhone app. It’s not exactly what data is shared, or how this is done… but the promotional video gives an interesting glimpse.

Thank You, Stranger with the Umbrella
On my way to the reading tonight, I got caught outside in some pretty big downpours. With no umbrella. I was pretty lucky, and got to hide under some scaffolding along the way.
