I don't keep track of the US post office's stamp releases, though I really ought to, as they release some really lovely stamps every year.
They did a set of Star Wars themed stamps which look really tasty:

Since I'm now able to get photos from my camera to my computer I'll be uploading them over the next couple of days.
The weekend before DomainFest we were having a drink in the lobby of the hotel when we got to see several stars including John Travolta.

What are the current hot topics in technology and more specifically, the internet?
Web 2.0 was a hot topic. Is it still?
Social networking? That's been around for quite some time, as has blogging, so they're probably not that "hot" and newsworthy as they might have been 18 months ago.
What about micro-formats? All this talk of Jaiku (and how broken it's become since the takeover) and that awful Twitter thing. Is it even worth talking about?
I have a pretty good idea what's happening in the hosting / domain space, but there's a lot more to the internet industry than what I, as one person, see.
I'm probably missing out on something. Then again, maybe I'm not !

I came across FreeRice this evening and could probably spend the rest of the night on there if I wasn't careful.
The site is very simple. You test your vocabulary and for every correct answer you provide they donate 20 grains of rice to the UN.

Some of the words are quite easy, while others are a bit "off the wall", so it can be quite challenging.
FreeRice has two goals:
1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site
