Jonathan's Open Company Test
In the spirit of Metcalfe's Law and the Joel Test, Jonathan has now become famous thanks to this piece on Web 2.0 in ComputerWorld:
Most importantly, many Web 2.0 sites extend open source values into non-programmatic objects: images, video, text. Many, but by no means all, Web 2.0 sites support an open management culture, such as the one defined by Jonathan Nolen's Open Company Test.
Noone quite knows how an obscure Australian publication found him or his test, but it would have been really nice if they'd at least linked it.

Investments
Advising startups is something I've started doing in the last year. It's a fascinating way to use one's brain and experience to solve other people's problems.
I'm loving it.
Besides the few I advise, I've invested in one, HomeThinking.
HomeThinking provides realtor reviews, ratings and metrics (qualitative and quantitive) for home sellers.
I also make a lot of small microfinance loans to entrepreneurs around the world through Kiva. Read more about my on going Kiva Challenge (update).
