Did you know that TinyURL‘s founder is a unicyclist? His name’s Kevin Gilbertson and he started the service in 2002. He wanted to link the unicycling newsgroups easily. He had a problem, solved it via code and created a new business model. Genius. source

Worth checking out are his immaculate one-man cover of the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell classic “All I Need” and the funky Prince-like original “Bad Girl.” source
