This is a brainstorm, and my hope is that it becomes a resource for all participants.

2. Hans Rosling / The Statistics of War / link

3. Rovio Entertainment / The Physics of Angry Birds / Link

4. Regina Spektor / How to write a song / link

5. Urban Dictionary Creators/ The future of Words / www.urbandictionary.com
