  • BBC NEWS | Education | Teens ‘underestimate’ study debt
    “Sixth formers expect to owe about £6,000 when they graduate from university – less than half the average of what graduates actually owe.”
    That’s one hell of an underestimation … even before the tuition fee increase most people I knew owed >£12k

  • Spun » Blog Archive » There’s only one input box at the command line
    “My three favorite software interfaces are:
    * The Unix command line
    * Google’s search box
    * Mac OS X’s Quicksilver
    And all three have only one input box.”

  • Bezos Expeditions invests in 37signals – Signal vs. Noise (by 37signals)
    “We’ve never been interested in the typical traditional VC deal. With a few exceptions, all the VCs could offer us was cash and connections. We’re fine on both of those fronts.”

  • Treehugger: Agifish: Fill ‘Er Up With Catfish Unleaded Please
    I love this idea. I want petrol stations to have “Petrol”, “Diesel” and “Catfish Guts” options. With little icons to match 😉

  • Geek to Live: Map your time – Lifehacker
    I like this idea, less as a way of managing time and more as a way of helping people identify why they aren’t happy. If practice doesn’t reflect the theory of what matters to you, then you’ll always be dissatisfied.

  • game girl advance: The Role of The Critic
    “Critics exist for another reason – they are not barometers of success, not even predictors of my enjoyment in a film or game. They contribute to my understanding of a particular film in a larger context”
