eveglass1. Simple vanilla glazed scones -- nothing of mind-shattering importance here, just a tasty-looking scone recipe. Anything with vanilla automatically gets extra points in my book.
2. Paying your bills with micro-businesses -- a different take on supporting yourself: instead of one job to pay all the bills, try a bunch of different "micro-businesses" (like mowing lawns or driving schoolbuses) to each cover one or two different bills.
3. Make sure your Facebook profile doesn't lose you a job -- a friendly warning to be sure that you've set your Facebook privacy settings so that you don't alienate potential future employers (or your current one).
4. Everything's amazing, nobody's happy (5-minute video) -- Conan O'Brien interviews comedian Louis CK, and it's hilarious. He talks about how technology is fantastic now, but we've all become desensitized to it.
5. How Twitter's spectacular growth is being driven by unexpected uses (TED talk video by Evan Williams) -- this talk is given by one of the founders of Twitter. No, I'm still not on Twitter, but it's interesting to see what the hype is about. (Special bonus: after the talk is over, they do a real-time search on Twitter to see what people were saying about it as he was speaking. Whoa.)
6. Automobile history board game (picture) -- the history of the automobile in America, in board game format. Nifty.
7. Penn and Teller get hippies to sign water-banning petition (3-minute video) -- yes, it might be a little cliched, but it still drives home the message: be careful what you're signing, or you might find out that the petition against "dihydrogen monoxide" will leave you high and dry.
