JFK's Letters to His Mistress Go Up at Auction

Our nation's 35th president was many things: handsome, good at yachting and swordsman enough to make Sinatra blush. Suffice it to say, his legendary charm extended to these love letters, now up for auction, in which he seduces a blonde Swede using the power of his pen. Basically, it's sexting for the '50s.

Preview Your Tattoos

It was only a matter of time, we suppose: Virtually Inked lets you upload a photo, pick out a tattoo and preview how it will look on your fine physique. Be warned, however: such an important service does not come free, though it does cost less than finding out the hard way whether that scorpion/Chinese symbol/girlfriend's name would look good on your bicep/back/face.

An Angry Brit in Your Pocket

If there is one thing you need in life, it's probably not an app that shouts British slang when you push a button.

The Filler Item Finder for Amazon

It's one of life's little frustrations: you have to spend $25 to get free shipping at Amazon, but that Kenny Loggins compilation only costs $20. That's where this site comes in—type in how much you have to go, and it will show you a range of options by category. You'd been meaning to pick up Lethal Weapon 2 on VHS anyway.

And now for a public service announcement: every time you tweet your whereabouts, check in on Foursquare or otherwise let the Internet know that you're out enjoying the good life, there's a good chance that information will appear here—a blog that broadcasts when people are not at home. Dangerous stuff, or…the beginning of the greatest heist this side of Danny Ocean.
