I usually try to exclude any political slants on here, but given the current climate of the American presidential debates, I thought Žižek's ideas on progress and capitalism as both an ethical and religious category to be relevant and thought provoking. Whether you're for or against, it's still worth taking in all the way to the end.
(I must thank/credit Matthew Hartney for bringing this to my attention)

Duolingo: learning/translation exchange
This is such a worthwhile project it needed posting. Duolingo is a non-profit, interactive language learning program that has the double benefit of providing language translation services for the world wide web. Users of all levels can gradually build their knowledge base in their chosen language, and in return actively participate in the translation of our international online information bank. Although there is a bit of a learning curve, the active format is a great way to start applying language skills right away, while contributing to a worthy cause. Highly recommended. (...did I mention it's free?)

We live in exponential times
Both inspiring and daunting; might leave you feeling a bit small and overwhelmed.
