A community activist at the Yahoo Employee Foundation picnic spins a "Wheel of Misfortune" which asks questions like "Who are the poorest people in Sunnyvale? How many people need food stamps? What percentage of Sunnyvale residents are low in income?" I'm guessing the answer isn't "Yahoo shareholders." Have a better caption? The best one will become the new headline.

Mashable was in town to do what they do best — throw parties. For CEO Pete Cashmore's sake, let's hope the faux blogger is doing a Morrissey impersonation and not Ian Curtis. Have a better caption?

A session at Foo Camp last weekend put on by Christy Canida and Jane McGonigal was meant to teach "things like empathy, how to play a role in a larger group, confidence in social settings, and supporting them in creating meaningful relationships online and in the real world." Wikipedia cofounder Jimmy Wales seems to have spent it text messaging — click for the full photo. Have a better caption? The best one will become the new headline.

Further confirmation that if you build a virtual world like Google's new Lively, it will be instantly populated by anthropomorphised animal avatars — also known as furries. In the future, all cats will be bipedal and wear pirate outfits with cowboy hats. Have a better caption?

Googler parents complaining about the soaring cost of childcare should be glad that the executive in charge wasn't Marissa Mayer. This photo, taken when Google senior UI designer Kerah Pelczarski took her infant over to Aunt Marissa's Four Seasons penthouse apartment, gives one a taste. Mayer was having Seattle artist Dale Chihuly's signature colorful blown-glass art installed in November 2006. I don't know if I'm more surprised that Pelczarski let the infant play on a floor full of glass, or that Mayer let Chihuly use tertiary colors. But given Mayer's predilection for mixing business and pleasure, I have to think a Mayer-designed childcare center would have cost much more than $50,000 per student a year. Have a better caption?
