Our office has been on a big Banagrams kick, I get pretty similar mind recharging benefits.

I guess it's doing a limited theater run for awhile, in SF and Austin. I saw it last week in SF and Cringely showed up and did a Q&A afterwards, he mentioned wanting to have the interview seen in a shared setting.
My initial thoughts would be: -custom groups or more groups; what group is this person attached to. -change the "where" I met this person, for back entering people. Everyone I'm entering the first time, right now, is off. -some ability to record meeting that person again? You probably don't want to turn this into a CRM, but having a history of when and where you met someone would be helpful.
For 30 days, each day, scrape yesterday's image from http://theimpossiblecool.tumblr.com/ or http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/ (or just pick one at random) and use the API to mail it myself. Eventually, I'll be getting a postcard a card of cool style and get a cool physical collection.
I've seen this similarly with Flickr: email me each day with a photo I took 1 year ago (or some random old photo I took), so you always filtering through your old collection. But maybe postcards will feel differently.
All of the "sync vim plugins from github" scripts + combined with Pathogen have made using and trying plugins much easier.
Github + better visibility have perhaps raised the overall quality of plugins by making it easier to copy and extend existing plugins.
I'm happy with the renewed interest and still learning new things in Vim all the time after 5-6 years of using it.
I've been meaning to look more into a good service like this, because I hate "writing" letters. I would love to keep in touch with my relatives and send out updates, but I am quite lazy. Photos/postcards aren't quite what I want either.
I hate paying through Paypal though :(
The $2/letter price point for the 20 pack still seems high. Care to comment on the pricing? I know I am inaccurately spitballing, but $0.44 postage and then $0.25 maybe for letter+envelope in bulk?
http://cutycapt.sourceforge.net/ is one of better screen capture engines I found for OSX. Most are based on Webkit/QT and Xvfb for Unix support.
SC2 and the pro-gaming community has never been better!
In the Convention over Configuration mindset, there doesn't seem to be a "best" convention for Django apps. You can install a django package easily through pip, but then does it need urls added, middleware, or signals added in your settings.py? The amount and quality of integration docs provided depends from package to package.
I'm a big SC fan and have been watching the community and the money grow the last year, since SC2 got released. As they have on the frontpage, the SC2 community is huge and between TSL, MLG, GomTV, and NASL, lots of money is flowing their direction for ads and promotions. MLG Columbus took place this weekend with an estimated 110K viewers over the weekend. It's a growing market!

This has been a minor related rant of mine across Github projects: a need for project guidelines, similar to http://semver.org/, in terms of having versioned projects, properly tagging those versions, and having a dated changelog summarizing those changes. Projects have different levels of organizational needs at different lifetimes, but having a suggested format/guidelines would help I think, similar to the Readme that Github suggests you make for a project.
My regular flow is to have everything (RSS for blogs with long posts and RSS for simple alert/notification blogs) in Google Reader and filter through it there, only viewing everything once. Anything longer than a paragraph in there goes to Instapaper, to really read later.
I sent random links and website I want to save to Instapaper as well and was moving them to Pinboard manually on the website, but this will definitely save me time.
