Mr. Mad Men
Can’t Lose Situation
Bengie Molina, who is the catcher for the Texas Rangers, is in a very unique situation going into the World Series this week. Earlier in the year, he was playing for the San Francisco Giants and was subsequently traded to the Texas Rangers. Because of this, he is eligible to earn a World Series ring no matter which team wins the series.
NBA Comics

The ESPN The Magazine NBA Preview issue has comic style illustrations for each NBA team. The Celtics have been dubbed “The Fantastic 5″ in an ode to “The Fantastic 4″. The full library of images can be viewed and downloaded at the ESPN Mediazone

The Science of Male Jeggings
For the benefit of science, the editors over at Racked asked Joshua David Stein to wear men’s jeggings for a day. Granted I didn’t know such things existed for men, and for my money, sweatpants are just fine by me. Clearly there appear to be some drawbacks from these hitting mainstream:
I would say the biggest challenge I faced wearing majeggings is how to maintain the integrity of my thigh silhouette as well as my butt silhouette and still manage to carry that holy trinity of quotidian pocket contents: iPhone, wallet and keys. And that’s when it occurred to me. The perfect accompaniment and necessary corollary to the majegging is the murse. I look forward to the day when I can walk into Uniqlo and proudly demand, “Take me to your murses!”

Mad Men Office Floor Plan

From, Kratkocasnik, a 2D and 3D visual floor plan of Mad Men’s Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Office Floor Plan. In the original post, the author stated that Bert Cooper didn’t have his own office, which is not something I can verify. Also, Ken Cosgrove is not represented in the plan and I’d have to figure he is somewhere near the “whiskey closet” represented in the above plan. A cool way to close out another great season of MM. I won’t give any spoilers but I think Don was using his wrong head to make the big decision in the finale.

Between Two Ferns – Bruce Willis
Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Bruce Willis from Bruce Willis
Very very funny edition of “Between Two Ferns” with Bruce Willis.
Zach: How many children do you have? Who is your favorite? Ashton? Do you get his tweets (@aplusk)?
Classic!
Amazing Save
Amazing effort by the Man City goalie to save a breakaway attempt after he was down on the offensive end trying to score the equalizer (Same scenario as when hockey teams pull their goalie to gain an extra skater).
Twitter Crushing Facebook CTR
This is an interesting study. A company called SocialTwist conducted a study comparing the methods which people share content and the performance of each of major social networks. According to the study, Twitter is crushing Facebook’s CTR, which to be honest is not all together that surprising. What I would be far more interested in understanding is what is the engagement and post click activity that is associated with each of the networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.).
Mind The Gap

You may have heard about The Gap’s recent inept attempt to redesign their logo. To demonstrate just how poor the decision making was there, the fine folks at ISO50 held a Gap Logo Redesign Contest, reaching out to the broader interweb design community to submit their own redesigns for the iconic logo. The results are, in my humble opinion, spectacular…with a couple of snarky designs thrown in for good measure! Just some amazing designs that reinforce just how bad the one that The Gap chose really is.
It appears that the geniuses at The Gap are now backpedaling on their decision making processes.
And for those few that really do like the new logo, you can generate a logo of your own right here.
