– There’s something about spoken word poetry that makes us clench our glutes. You know, like someone about to suffer something unavoidably bad. This spoken word PSA by “MIKE-E” for the American Cancer Society wasn’t terrible, but we winced all through it anyway.

– Google Maps, meet GTA IV.

– So Twitter went down for just exactly too long, and in that time frame Jolie O’Dell discovered Chatterous (now in alpha!). It will get you laid.

– New Google killer on the loose. You know what’s fun? Googling “Google killer”.

– Starbuck’s profits fell 28 percent compared to this time last year. Bummer. CEO Schultz says the crappy numbers “reflect the sharp weakening US consumer environment.”

– Acura’s TSX hopes to endear itself to Millennials by pointing out how we don’t sleep. EVER. Printwork by RPA.

Research suggests people over 60 who keep an immaculate home but feel chaotic inside aren’t contradicting themselves, they’re compensating — the external order is a containment strategy for internal disorder, and the cleaner the surfaces the more likely it is that something underneath is being managed through control because it can’t be managed through expression

I have a perfectly good smartphone with a notes app I know how to use, but every Sunday I still write my weekly tasks on a piece of paper that sits on my kitchen counter — because at 65, I’ve learned that seeing something in my own handwriting makes me accountable to myself in a way a screen notification never could
