New dating app lets your girl friends eavesdrop on private conversations


Boompi works pretty much like Tinder; you swipe yes (or no) to a possible match, and if the other person responds positively, you can start chatting with your potential date. Here's the catch, though: girls can let their friends eavesdrop on your conversation.

Guys can't notice the presence of your invited girl friends, though. The people you add can also send messages within the chat and can choose to appear in 'Ghost Mode,' which only allows them to view dialogues and not appear in the app's search.

While I see no reason why men would join Boompi, its creator, Alejandro Ponce, told TechCrunch that he believes guys would still sign up for the service because "boys will be wherever girls are." And the new dating app, he declared, "is every girl's dream."

What do you think? Is Boompi cool or creepy?

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

These peg dolls would make a cool nursery decoration for Trekkies

I'm so dad of a little girl. Look at me posting about toys and kids apps more frequently now. Anyway, I really love this Star Trek Enterprise plaything. It's made of 100% wood and features characters from The Next Generation . It's smooth, built to last, and perfect for little hands. I'm not just sure if it's still available for purchase on Etsy.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
