A list of links to things I enjoyed & shared with friends this month:

• How to monetize a blog

  • Don’t judge this link by its title. I thought it’d be awful too, but it ended up being more interesting than I expected.

• Born a Rockefeller

  • A father’s character sketch of his daughter. An endearing read.

• The confessions of Marcus Hutchins, the hacker who saved the internet

  • Very interesting story. I'm relieved it didn't end in tragedy.

• How the Boeing scandal profited millions

  • My first time watching a Josh Johnson stand-up. He’s fun.

• Five geek social fallacies

  • I knew about the missing stair, but only recently learned about the geek social fallacies. Good to be aware of.

• My life among the bourgeoisie

  • Quirky observations & people watching during a visit to Palo Alto.

• Man mixing metaphors kills two early birds of a feather with one rolling stone

  • A silly, playful mix of idioms. Someone had fun writing this. :)

• What vegetable are you?

  • A fun little adventure — I got stuck in space and a popcorn begrudgingly saved me.

• ATARASHII GAKKO! – Tokyo Calling

  • A friend described this as “weird jpop.” I like it.
