Thanks to Mike for this cool video about Daniel Pink's work on Drive. I recently read Drive and enjoyed it. 

 LifeHacker has an interesting post about behavior change. I didn't read the original source, but thought it might be interesting for those of you into psychology out there. 

Steve Blank's blog has a post on why "No One Wins in Business Plan Competitions." A different take on a typical business school practice. 

Business Pundit brings us a strange story called "Foxconn Sees 10th Employee Suicide This Year." I don't know if there is a "right" way to respond to such a tragic pattern of behavior within a company... 

I've always been fascinated by the differences in intellectual property laws and norms in different economic sectors and countries. Economix has an interesting post including a clip about "Does Fashion Need Copyright Protection?" There is a phrase in the clip about a "culture of copying," which is an odd way to think about it! 

Here are two just kind of charts: "A Tourist World" and "Top 100 Fun Cities." 

And finally, because the Associates gave me a award called the "Most Likely to Throw A Hayek-Themed Birthday Party," I have to link up Taking Hayek Seriously's post about cheap Hayek books for the Kindle.
