The Shortest Path for the Darkest Age
These flyers were next to the register at our neighborhood coffee shop. I had no idea Buddhism could even be extreme, let alone "harder, faster, more outrageous." For more info, go to extremebuddhism.org
Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh
Too much fun getting the family together at Rebecca & Luke's house in Pittsburgh. The turkey was terrific and we had a chance to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water.
Barcode Revolution
I really liked the way this Japanese firm spruced up the old barcode. (via infosethetics)
Cool Hat
All kids should probably be given a hat like this. Happy 2nd B-Day Elliot!
Facebook Answers
When I post a question to Facebook, I often get great answers very quickly. It would be cool if these questions/answers were aggregated and saved.
Ben Silbermann Any suggestions for my 2 year old nephew's bday? Are blocks still cool?
Danica Stanciu
A Lego starter kit. Old school is way cool.

blocks are good, but he REALLY likes vehicles... cars / trucks / planes / trains / etc. (preferably those whose wheels or tires cannot be pried off.)

Lincoln Logs. They were old school when Legos were new!

Give him 10 dollars and then take him to the dollar store to spend it. Seriously. It's little kid paradise there.

Get him something that says 3+ on it. They handicap those age ratings to make parents feel that their kids are smart. He'll be bored with anything less but avoid small parts.

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions @Gregg, I think 2 may be a bit early to start handing out cash :)

The Jobless Rate for People Like You
This is a GREAT visualization from the NYT. It's simple, tells an important story, and provides much more information than a typical news headline.
Separately, it's sad to see so many people without jobs. I hope things pick up.
Best User Feedback
Fred: tote just sent me an email stating that I had saved a set of three thong panties from Macys
me: haha. tote does not lie.
Fred: maybe i did, but i don't think so...or at least i don't remember maybe i was feeling fresh one evening
me: maybe you were sleep tote-ing
Fred: perhaps perhaps. i think that should be an angle you follow up on
Flatbed Toaster?!
Probably nothing a Toaster Oven couldn't handle, but clever marketing nonetheless.
