Just spent four days in Oklahoma City for work. Wasn’t expecting much, but it’s actually a pretty decent place. Bricktown is very cool and the city itself is pretty well laid-out. In spite of this, I still don’t understand how it produced a band like The Flaming Lips.

A weird, but interesting nonethless, new Web site called How I Spent My Stimulus allows users to tell how they spent their stimulus packages. A quick look reveals that people spent the cash on anything from a Roomba to a tattoo to a circumcision. Thanks, George!
Making Microsoft cool is not easy right now. But, Fast Company has an interesting article about the guy who is trying to do exactly that.
