Wiki Gives Birth
A small but amusing entry came across my Google Alert for the word "wiki" today:
Bogor, West Java (ANTARA News) - An African chimpanzee gave birth to a female baby at the primate center in the Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI) parl in Cisarua subdistrict, Bogor district, recently, a spokesperson said. Wiki, the chimpanzee (20), gave birth to Windi, and Kobi (15) was the father of the newly-born, TSI spokesperson Nur Syamsiah said here Monday.
Congratulations to the new mother!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but with this Wiki actually predates Ward's use of the term quite significantly.

I guess from now on it'll be a tad difficult to dispute the "Wiki = monkey business" views :-)

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).
