This is the cutest OK Go! video ever. Except it’s not…it’s for Fed Ex. And it made my entire day. LOVE!
Marketing Campaign of the Day: “A Canada Goose ships a hockey stick to an American puppy using FedEx boxes as dominoes.”
Does what it says on the (FedEx) box.

New York is a city of movement. We walk faster here. We put our little white earbuds in our ears, moving to the beat of our own soundtrack, often immune to the song of the city. The noise that the subway makes when it whirrs past you, the sound of the expletives when you’ve missed the train by 30 seconds. It’s a fast-paced city, this one, and I feel like I haven’t stopped moving since I moved here six weeks ago. There’s always somewhere to go, always something to be doing.
I’m trying to slow down. To look up. To see the skyline and the water towers and the windows with all those people (ALL. THOSE. PEOPLE!) and to listen to the soundtrack of this city. Of my new home. To adapt to the pace, but to let myself be comfortable with my own one as well.
This mix is the one that I’ve been listening to with my own little white earbuds when I succumb to the status quo. Or when it’s all getting to be too much, and need to drown out the rest of the world. Enjoy.

best auto-correct ever
i hate autocorrect
I’m often guilty of asking innocuous, platonic friends – you know, like my lawyer – to bang. When I mean hang.
Either I turn off autocorrect or make some more adventurous friends.
Welcome to the NYC Open Data Tumblr.
As part of Mayor Bloomberg’s commitment to transparency and innovation, over 800 (and counting!) City datasets are now online for anyone in New York or around the world to explore and access via an API, for deeper, real-time integration into apps…
NYC Digital is excited to announce that NYC Open Data is now on Tumblr, check out the blog here.
Need to locate an electronics store? Or find the closest open Wifi hotspot? NYC Open Data has been sharing this information for a while, but we expect to see even more cool maps and features to be highlighted on their newly-launched Tumblr.
Playful Pup of the Day: Adorable dog really, really wants to play fetch with the newest member of the family.

I think Lila would have given up at like the fourth attempt, and then stood there, barking at the baby, not understanding why (s)he wasn’t helping.
good:
My favorite part of this is that there is mention of someone giving you a ride to the airport. When does THAT ever happen!? (Hmm. Maybe I need to make new friends here.)
And yet, yes, I still want to marry one of these cavemen.
by Anita Dadà
Do you know how hard it is to be a guy, the never ending balancing act between consistently being an awesome civil gentleman while also having a cave-brain equivalent to a dog that wants to hump the leg of everything it likes? It’s woefully underreported, this dichotomy.
It’s even worse when you’re in any way “romantic”; when one voice inside of you is all His Girl Friday-like, all “Gee golly, I sure want to take her on a picnic”. Which of course you have to temper to the other voice which is breathing down your neck saying “a motel room, a bottle of scotch, and enough lubricant to drown a leprechaun”.
The core brain of any 20-something male is basically two deaf people having an argument while everyone else in the bowling alley of your mind looks on and wonders if they should say anything – if so, then what? – before getting their shit back together and mumbling “I hope he gets his shit together by the time he’s 30”.
