I wanted to try out some of the concepts I learned so I made up this little Rails app. I doubt if you can actually predict someone's favorite color based on a few preference, but we'll see how it looks after a few (thousand?) examples. I'm still working on it, but it's in a working state and I'm collecting all the data I want, so I can always rehash it later to tweak the algo.

Any suggestions for a more interesting set of data to form predictions on?
