(I’m giving the built-in thumbnail/pop-up generation functions a try.)

I have a very extensive Amazon.com purchasing history. In the 2001 calendar year, I made an order every 11 calendar days, on average. I’ve been a customer since May 4, 1997.

Given this wealth of data, my recommendations are often interesting. Not that they’re always on the mark; sometimes I find myself confused at the correlation.

Take this Memento recommendation. Sure, it’s a good movie, and yes, I would consider buying it if my brother didn’t own it. But how does my ownership of The Handbook of Usability Testing predict of my taste in this matter? Do usability professionals dig indie film? Does Jakob love Y Tu Mama Tambien?

You got me.
