Zappos Happiness Campaign
This is BRILLIANT. Zappos removes common frustrations from peoples’ lives as a marketing campaign. For the heaviest travel day of the year (day before Thanksgiving), they’re underwriting the tolls on the Mass Pike. Ugh, brilliant.

Spiders Are People Too
Male nursery spiders wrap presents in silk to give to their perspective mates. The better (more useful) the gift, the longer the female allows them to do their thing (if you know what I mean). So cool.

Flybridge Capital partner, Jeff Bussgang, recently posted a presentation on why Boston has the perfect ecosystem for successful startups. BTW, I love that Boston leads NYC in annual VC investments.

I think infographics are pretty damn cool. For me, the best ones illustrate information that is important to society. This is an infographic by Nick Hardeman that interprets Diddy dancing with Mase in the Mo Money, Mo Problems music video. Haha, sweet.

www.sourcemap.org is such a cool concept. It uncovers how far the products you buy travel before they reach you. Its something we should all be aware of. Mileage on product packaging should be standardized like nutritional facts. Again, a product of M.I.T. brainpower.

Going to the Stata Center for the first time tonight to see the founder of Drupal.org speak on open source. FINALLY I have an excuse to go inside this building!

Democratizing Innovation, by Eric von Hippel, head of the innovation and entrepreneurship group at M.I.T. Sloan School of Management.
Not only is this an extremely cool book, but its available - in full - through the MIT website. Oh, MIT, I love you and everything you stand for.

From www.infosthetics.com, a blog one of my clients showed me on information visualization (infographics). Could get lost here for hours.
