“ …you should always try to recruit people who are too good for the job. The reason I make this point is that young, uneducated, low achievers rarely persist through what they see as boredom in business to eventual success. Brighter, more intelligent employees don’t mind doing a boring job for six months because, provided their company has a culture where talent and commitment is rewarded, they know they will be given a better opportunity one day.

Yike Bike (via Melissa). It folds up very small, but is still 23 pounds, which is about the same weight as my normal Dahon foldup bike. They are also about $5,000.
Pretty cool, but just another Segway?

Want a Better Listener? Protect Those Ears (NYT)
My nephews’ parents are rock stars, so they know all about these baby ear protectors. When I was little and there was still an Air Force base in Plattsburgh, I slept in earmuffs with lambs on them to block out the planes. These probably work a little better.
I’m pretty sure if I end up with kids, they’ll be wearing these all the time, along with helmets and knee pads.
