| With the In·ter·net, we are able to look into trends, directions, and conversations through an enormous amount of available information. It may be 3-or-30-clicks-away, but it’s there waiting for us like unwrapped holiday gifts. Whether we want to be nostalgic or up to date, the web offers ways to be connected with just about anything on our wish list of facts, people, news, gossip, events, and FUN. In this recurring series of posts, we’ve married the themes of contemporary love and digital living while looking at relevant numbers, statistics and information. We’ll mix it up from post to post, so be sure to check back! | |
| @The Movies: at the box office - last weekend - when it comes to movies about love, relationships, or technology, it is clear to us that the folks at ‘Walt Disney Pictures’ were timing the release of "The Princess and the Frog" just in time for us to launch this post! This Jazz Age-era fairy tale in New Orleans includes magic, princes, and a frog to boot! Also, the new Sandra Bullock movie "The Blind Side" continues to do well, taking the second spot this week. However, with all this love, family and relationship goodness in the air, something tells us things will change this week…anybody need an Avatar? [Source: IMBD-Top Charts] |  |

| M@trimony: In November 1969 our love affair with the web was made a technological possibility – yes the web is in its 40 - and since then we’ve all been making our way down the virtual aisle to become connected. But what about a real couple that said “I do” this time 40 years ago? How they turned out? The original “Pretty woman” Audrey Hepburn tied the knot 40 years ago. In 1969 she married Italian psychiatrist Andrea Dotti. The two met on a cruise (we think there was a sunset as well, but we are not sure). During their marriage Dotti had several affairs with younger women.The marriage lasted thirteen years and ended when Hepburn felt her children were old enough to handle life with a single mother.

| @The Movies: at the box office - 10 years ago - one of the top movies at the box office about love, relationships, or technology was “American Beauty” The drama deals with a mid-life crisis, suburbia-disturbia culture, and a husband and wife in a perfect house in a perfect neighborhood with a not-so-perfect life.
