Gladstoning is the latest internet-inspired real-life activity that's sure to find a loyal geek following among the steampunk/flash mob crowd and be much twittered about if little practiced. It is inspired by the
morally ambiguous extra-curricular work of the late British Prime Minister and is kinda like
geohashing, except instead of trying to meet up at a random place on the map, you find a random wfm in
the erotic services section of craigslist and set up a date with her. But then instead of having sex, you talk about technology and the internet and how craiglist and cell phones have changed our lives. Oh, you pay her for the half-hour or hour. And maybe get a handjob, if she's up for it.
A friend of mine turned me on to this. It's the nerd.
