Still trying to catch up… I read a bunch on the plane so I’ll fill those in ASAP.

#1. You Think Hollywood Is Rough? Welcome to the Chaos, Excitement and Danger of Nollywood
The entrepreneurial spirit of Nigeria goes beyond scamming into the world of low-budget movie making.

#2. The Secret Footballer: The FA has helped devalue its own Cup
I agree on how stupid it is for the FA Cup to be played alongside other league games and not have its own separate day.

#3. Tiger Woods Injury: The Beginning Of The End?
You want him to rise from the ashes but this is simply full circle. Mental and physical problems are no joke and I would be surprised (although very much welcome) if Woods was able to turn it around and rise to the top again.

#4. Newt Gingrich Paints Questionable Account Of The Past: Fact Check
It seems errrbody on the Republicans side is hella shady haha.

#5. Post-Recession, the Rich Are Different
The rich now take a different approach to consuming big ticket luxury fashion items. A more conscious approach to buying.

#6. Yes, There Are Tech Startups in Nigeria. Here Are My Favorites.

#7. Rodman Is in the Hall of Fame and Back on the A List
One of my favorite players of all-time… He seemed to be this ironic character who took the most unglamorous job on the court playing D but demanded to be the star attraction off the court.

#8. Foods With Health Benefits, or So They Say
So many of the products on grocery store shelves claim some sort of benefit, but well marketing exists for a reason and it’s often not as it seems.

#9. 3 Strongmen Discuss Explosiveness
The importance of explosiveness in strength-based sports.

#10. Rich and Sort of Rich
In the US, if you make over $250,000 USD, that places you in top income bracket. However, how was this number decided upon? But some controversy saying that for those making $250K it really doesn’t go all that far and doesn’t deserve the press surrounding its designation as the highest tax bracket.

#11. The People vs. Goldman Sachs
It’s a topic beat to death, but if you still haven’t understood what spawned the financial crisis, this breaks it done in succinct terms.

#12. Defaceable Lets You Comment Anonymously On Facebook Comments
Assume the identity of a fruit but hate away.

#13. The Man Who Watches Gorno For a Living
An interview with a guy who’s job is to oversee and censor acts of gore and pornography in cinema.

#14. Apple Employees Tell the Secrets Behind Steve Jobs’ ‘Magic’
Insiders drop some knowledge on the ruling fist of Steve Jobs.

#15. Homeopathy is ‘dangerous and wasteful,’ bioethics expert argues
Interesting debate. I feel relatively strongly about homeopathy, but this suggests that the effects are mostly placebo. Even homeopathy practitioners feel even if this is the reason for improvement, it’s not all bad.

#16. How to Email Busy People
I get a decent amount of email and the one thing I must concede I really appreciate is the use of bullet points. We’ve now developed into a society that has taken on so much, we can’t even read properly.

#17. UN says a third of global food production is lost or wasted
My parents alllllllllways made me stuff every last morsel on the table into my mouth. Hence why I was fat in my youth.
