  1. The Onion takes on Tide's social media strategy... may not be that far from the truth (via @rga) onion.com/Lc9RJS
  2. Best Mad Men episode in years. I can't believe there are only 2 left!
  3. I finally understand why Google is making a self-driving car. So we have no distractions while using our phone behind the wheel. Genius.
  4. Sorry, "Melancholia", you just lost the status of Worst movie I've ever seen. "Keyhole", you win.
  5. The wonders of elegant coding. MT @FastCoDesign: The 3 White Lies Behind @Instagram’s Lightning Speed bit.ly/LaFtnG
  6. The dinosaur baby. A story about the good, the bad and the ugly side of innovation. From the brilliant @pbennett101 bit.ly/KZHqyC
  7. The new Facebook Camera app is nice, but it's no Instagram. Bigger question is, why do we need another app for that? itunes.apple.com/us/app/faceboo…
  8. Steve Jobs was always against using stylus for touch devices. Unless he could redefine what a stylus is. I want one! bit.ly/LdaQMk
  9. Singing Muppet BandAid. A modern day version of getting a lollipop after going to the doctor. Really nice, @tastytruth nyti.ms/Jy8xFF
  10. I'll miss you, Kristen Wiig. And I hope to get an equally epic send-off the day I quit watching SNL. bit.ly/JAtCJ1
  11. Facebook for iPhone must be the slowest app ever made. It's either that or all my friends are posting from dial-up modems.
  12. Fascinating, begs for data mashups. MT @brainpicker: Every American presidential election ever, visualized in color j.mp/JQq4GH
  13. Our new "got milk?" campaign, The Science of Imitation Milk. Watch the spot youtu.be/8WrMPDNA0Dk?hd… Make your own batch bit.ly/J4510A
  14. Highly-paid engineers + spare time = “How Facebook Hacked The NASDAQ Button tcrn.ch/Ljr3BN” (via @TechCrunch)
  15. Thanks, @pbennett101 for the lovely dinner and freedom toe socks. @everydayedited's feet will never be the same inside her Louboutins.
  16. Nice, simple idea. RT: @FastCoCreate: Beyond advertising- R/GA rethinks the Getty watermark bit.ly/KF0XZI
  17. Great to see GSP winning gold for Sprint at the ADC. I'm proud of the team, the work was awesome. The proof is in the gold pudding.
  18. Dear United, If you put me again on a crappy plane from SFO to JFK without wifi, I'll switch to Virgin.
