1. The New York Times Opinionator blog gives this very clever guide for how to flip a mattress using Group Think maths. The nerd in me loves it. Even if  I sleep alone. In the middle.

2. My favourite blogger Seth Godin, who I’m chatting with tonight on the phone, wrote this rundown of “8 things I wish everyone knew about email”, including this tip:

When you go on vacation, set up an autoreply that says, “I’m on vacation until x/x/2010. When I get back, I’m going to delete all the email that arrived while I was gone, so if this note is important, please send it to me again after that date.”

Smart.

3. And reader Nat Green suggested I check out 59seconds. I did. I found this creativity test. Take a look at the image. What do you see?

Apparently I am. Creative. Cos I can flip a bird.
