Gmail and Woot Impressed Me Today

I was doubly impressed while checking email today.  First, Gmail’s new themes were pretty cool — I’m going with the Ninja theme myself, currently:

Then, I noticed the extremely well-targeted ad — you can see it in the middle of the picture above.  In case it’s too tiny to read, here’s the message:

Tired of freezing your tracks?  Eat those plugins for lunch!"

They know me too well.  But then I clicked on the link, and was further impressed…the software displayed on the computer in the ad is my very own Cakewalk Sonar:

Kudos to the advertisers…except now I’m looking over my shoulder, wondering where the hidden camera is…  Maybe I need to randomly purchase crap I don’t need to throw off the recommendation engines…like a Care Bear…or Fit Flops…or a subscription to Guns and Ammo…
