Thursday miscellany

No deep thoughts today — just a few tantalizing tidbits:

• The 50 Greatest Arts Videos on Youtube (HT: Arts Journal)
• Gretchen Rubin asks me 6 tough questions on one tough issue: happiness.
• School of Everything promises to connect people with stuff to teach with people with stuff to learn. It’s an “eBay for knowledge,” as Boing Boing puts it. Why didn’t I think of this?  
• Heartwood USA: A cool new cartoon about the environment that actually treats kids as if they have a brain.
• Startup Nation is looking for the 100 best home-based businesses in America.
• Haruki Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and Robert Shiller’s The Subprime Solution are both pretty good. And neither is very long. Professor Pink gives an A-/B+ to each.
