Incredibox is a nicely done little site where you can make a little beatbox composition, all done graphically. (Requires no musical skills whatsoever.)
I recommend this Ted Talk on the undervaluation of the percieved value of things called Perspective is Everything. It’s both informative and excellently presented, but I guess that figures, the presenter Rory Sutherland being in advertising and all.
Check As a Man Thinketh, a great essay from 1902 which more than inspired The Secret as well as large parts of the visualization and self-help litterature in general.
The central idea of the essay is the bible quote “As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.” Wikipedia info here.
I finally got into checking out the programming language Python, and I can totally relate to the hype. What a wonderful tool and meta-tool. Simultaneously really beginner friendly and really powerful. I can only urge everybody to take the plunge.
And by the way, programming is not at all what you imagine it to be: Long-haired manipulation of formulas. It is a very creative process, fully comparable to painting, writing etc. You definitely won’t regret learning it just from the stimulation it gives you alone. But it being a broadly marketable skill doesn’t hurt.

I’ve totally gotten into Evernote, lately. Great tag integration, great search, image text search etc. It feels like a personal database you want to use. Not a small thing, actually.
