Seattle’s Top Innovators Unveiled
Seattle Business Monthly released a list of their top innovators in Seattle. I was most interested in the high number of “Darren”s on the list. involved in 3 of the top 25…not bad odds considering it’s only the 512th ranked first name.

On wanting to extend Snopes.com to my brain
warning: snarky post ahead
I’ve run across two urban legends just this week that made me really want a new product to emerge: BS Detection Implants with a Snopes.com Really Simple Brain Syndication feed.
