My first thought after a friend forwarded me an article about the dating spreadsheet kept by a New York man was, “My spreadsheet is much better! But after several more people contacted me about the news item — including a former girlfriend who had no knowledge of my spreadsheet but apparently knows me all too well — I started to think that, more than just yet another Internet meme, such spreadsheets actually captured the zeitgeist of modern dating .
I, like David Merkur , work in finance and stare at Excel for 12 hours a day. For better or worse, those little Microsoft-created cells are how I organize my thoughts. Perhaps a writer would reflect on and track his life through a journal, or even fiction or poetry, but my medium is rows upon rows of data. And not just at work: I have spreadsheets to track my finances, the books I’ve read, the countries I’ve visited and which combinations of friends might enjoy a dinner party together — that would be the very useful “friend interaction matrix,” responsible for many a successful social gathering whose participants were brought together, unwittingly, by spreadsheet.
