I spent my youth chasing after the cool. And always missed it by a beat or two. This short, social documentary about the meaning of cool, by digital retail platform COOLS made me smile.

I've Got Five On It
Recently I had drinks with someone that worked at Fiverr which I had not heard about until then. Yelp has provided discoverability, both good and bad, for many lifestyle businesses like restaurants, shopping and recreational sites. But there hasn't been a real winner in the services area with the exception of Craigslist, which is still the old classifieds model, and maybe TaskRabbit.
Fiverr is an interesting cross between Thumbtack, Task Rabbit and Etsy. All services start at only $5 with subsequential add-ons like preferred shipping or advanced customizations costing more. There are all kinds of offerings though the bulk seem to be writing and tech related. I recommend browsing their iOS app which is more fun to use than the website.
1. Get a logo design in 9 days (includes a one-time revision)
2. For the music lovers, learn any song on the guitar. Lalala...
3. A virtual, personal assistant for just $5/hour:
4. Need help with your Wordpress blog templates, plug-ins or themes?
5. Those that are into DIY, this isn't quite the replacement for Etsy but there are some nice products like handmade cards and stationary.
And because you can't go far without the internet being a tad weird. For $5, you can get a girl dressed up in a costume to hold signs for your business...

Ted Talks | Leaving Traditional Education
When 13 year-old Logan LaPlante grows up, he wants to be happy and healthy. He discusses how hacking his education is helping him achieve this goal. It's possible that he comes from a blessedly smart gene pool. But he's a good speaker and brave for handling public speaking with grace. Way better than I was even in my 20s. So kudos to that.
