  • best of craigslist: Hey Crackhead
    I feel for this guy — poor vandalised bike!

  • Multipotentiality – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    This is my word of the day. Pretty much most of my friendship circles at school, university and now work have consisted of people who experience this (suffer seems a strong word for something with such a positive background but I suppose potentially a truly negative impact)

  • Polymath – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Interesting how our formal education processes in many countries have really reduced the capacity for polymaths to develop. I suppose those most so included are likely to develop any way though! Last couple of years I've sponsored a scholarship at my old highschool for a student displaying polymath tendencies.

  • How to recognise a good programmer
    Insightful article about how to spot good programmers.

  • Open Innovation | Innovation Management
    This is a really interesting site: pairing up problem solvers with complex problems and the people who want them solved (and can pay for solutions). Sort of like an innovation / solutions marketplace.

  • Student sells virginity for $45k – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
    Wow. Hell of an innovative way to pay for college! Not sure how I feel about this, on the one hand sad that anyone has to do this to get an education, on the other hand good on her for getting that much…

  • YouTube – GNILLEY presentation at Game Jam Sydney
    Very entertaining game demo where shouting at the screen kills things! Looks hilarious

  • Information Is Beautiful | Ideas, issues, concepts, subjects – visualized!
    Gorgeous blog with beautiful graphs — true meaning of information visualisation

  • "Farmville Is Getting a Little Too Realistic" by Jason Michaels on CollegeHumor
    This is really really funny, especially if you're constantly exposed to Farmville by friends & family on Facebook as I am!
