Oh, the annual agency holiday card. Every year they flood our inbox and every year we get lazier and lazier about covering them. Because, really. How many times can one sit through yet another ego-fueled piece of Flashturbation before one feels the need to strangled every creative director in the business.

Well this year, it’s all about mobile. Because, after all, no matter how powerful the urge, there’s only so many time an agency can Flashturbate before it needs to take a break and rethink the method by which it spreads its seed.

This year, Philadelphia-based Tierney has created The Gift of Conversation, a mobile application for everyone on the agency’s shopping list that will allow the user to choose from five awkward social settings to receive 30 conversational suggestions such as “I think we’re cousins” when you find yourself under the mistletoe with a less than desirable co-worker.

And, yes, you too can have this app if you really want it. Just head over to this link and download it for iPhone, Blackberry or Android.

I’m 65 and my wife had an affair 23 years ago and we survived it—therapy, tears, rebuilding, the whole architecture of repair—and the marriage now is good, genuinely good, but there are still moments when she laughs at her phone and something in my chest tightens for exactly two seconds before I can talk myself down, and those two seconds are the scar’s rent, and it pays on time every single month

Research suggests that people who are willing to accept change as they get older live significantly longer than those who resist it — not because change is healthy but because resistance is expensive and the body pays a biological price for every year spent clenching against a reality it cannot control and that clenching is aging people faster than the change itself ever could

Behavioral science says people who still write grocery lists by hand instead of using their phone carry a relationship with preparation that was built in a kitchen where forgetting something meant going without — and the list isn’t about groceries, it’s about a nervous system that learned early that being unprepared has a cost and the pen is cheaper than the consequence
