Six degrees of IMDb founder Col Needham | Film | The Guardian

On the success of the IMDb’s “creator”. Doesn't even mention that the site's value to Amazon in 1998 was all the data contributed by volunteers. Imagine if Wikipedia was solely the work of Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. Grrrrrr. Still angry.

The Online Photographer: (OT) How Do You Build A Starship-Building Organization?

About last September's first conference by the 100 Year Starship foundation, starting to work out what kind of organisation would be required to launch a starship 100 years from now.

GeoGuessr - Let's explore the world!

And this is good fun, while you're waiting for your collection of candies to grow. I got 7457 on my first and, so far, only round. (via @antimega)

Candy box !

Really, stupidly, dumbly addictive. Be patient. And don't forget to Save frequently. (via @nickludlam)
