I love it when people find new and exciting ways to use their information-aggregating skills. Virgil Griffith is a busy guy, and he still found time to whip this up. You can read more about him and his brainiac antics in the New York Times Magazine, in Wired, and on this WSJ blog.

His site lists all the cool talks, presentations, etc. he’s given, all of which are smart and interesting. But, honestly, my favorite bits (besides Musicthatmakesyoudumb and Booksthatmakeyoudumb) are his contributions to college students in the CalTech and MIT areas: Freefood at MIT and Freefood at Caltech. Effing genius.
