Last night, I attended the launch of School of Everything, a new web service that acts as a kind of eBay for people who have something to teach. Potential teachers list their areas of expertise (anything from knitting to programming to driving to yoga to TIG-welding to whatever) and potential students find teachers with a simple search that can be geography bounded (for in-person instruction) or not (for online instruction). It's one of those great, ...

This is the coolest idea I've heard in a long time. I LOVE to teach people, and have been struggling with how to do more of it (not necessarily for money, but if I can suppliement my income by it, then why not?). Can't wait until this launches in the U.S.! :-)

Professor David Levy argues, however, that our fast-paced world doesn't allow for time to think deeply, the time when we come up with our best ideas and most important insights.
