On a personal note...
I've been in the webmaster game on and off since early 1995 but I've never owned my own website until now. That seems like an odd oversight, but there you go.
I launched PodaPoda.com today. It's a tiny listings site for mobile websites. Usually the ones beginning with an M. Like m.wired.com. These sites are optimised for use on mobile phones. More people have internet access through their phones than through computers, so it seems sensible to have more lists of these sites. Half of FT.com's traffic comes through mobile devices.
I handcoded the site! That took me back to early days on a vt100 terminal emulator and a 2400 baud modem. I created an institutional website doing that, using pico and lynx. It was three months before I saw the site on a graphics browser (Mosaic running on a Mac, I think). Handcoding was quite fun. Learned some old tricks the hard way for the second time. And as it's an XHTML site, I needed to comply with xhtml-basic.
I need to do some SEO on the site next, but hopefully some feedback and suggestions from friends will help before that.
Wow. My own site. Now to be creative and innovative...

Comparative education
Thoughtful article in The Atlantic's magazine, looking at the work of Andreas Schleicher and how educational outcomes can be measured in different countries using creativity-based questions. The comments are somewhat critical but it's a good read. Found on the mobile edition, so may display a little oddly on some screens.
