Apparently, The New York Times is no longer getting approval for quotes.
I agree, I did not know that previously they got approval. And I can see how that could easily create an endless loop of revision between Journalists and those in PR.
And I can appreciate from the PR side of things, having to get quotes approved. But more importantly, I can appreciate the journalists not having to get approval, so they can actually report what they are told, not a fabricated, dishonest PR-speak quote.
Alright, let’s see what we have today. First up, this is clever:
The woman who ruined a priceless fresco of Jesus, has a lawyer and wants money now that her creation is on display.

I can’t embed it, but check out this cool video of an art project involving swings!
Need some recopies for beer milkshakes? Man Made DIY has you covered.
So, Senate Republicans rejected a bill that would provide jobs for Veterans. I don’t understand how anyone could be so awful.
That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more soon, have a great one!
Let’s see what we have today, first up, it finally made it to an orchestra:
North Carolina Representative goes on a white supremist radio show. There are just now words. How awful.
The Voyageur Probe has been out in space for 35 years, amazing!
This has been floating around:
But also, the awesome followup:
“Our Care and Social Media teams are fully engaged to make sure he’s well tended to. On behalf of the many Trekkers and Sir Patrick Stewart fans across our company, I can assure you, we will make it so.”
Well this is just awkward and scary.
The Warhol foundation is set to auction of over 20,000 pieces. They are expecting to bring in over $100 million.
So this is a real thing, gross:
Soon to be parents, take note of thisl
At the DNC, they had induction phone charging stations, although it also looks like they had a variety of cables as well:
And lastly, so this happened, although thankfully it missed us, although it did affect some things, due to the magnetic field:
That’s it for now, have a great one!
Google has blocked access to the inflammatory video that has sparked riots and protests throughout the middle east, to the middle east.
They did acknowledge that it does not necessarily fit the companies definition of hate speech, but their hope is to help quell the violence in the middle east.
It’s a tough line, and of course, made even more so by country borders: there is guaranteed free speech (with some exceptions of course) the U.S. The video was made in America, uploaded to an American website, but publicly available around the world.
I do have to applaud Google, and of course, they are following their own company protocol. although granted, once something is outon the Internet, I don’t know how successful they will be denying all access to it.
Alright, let’s see what we have today. First up, check out Mars in 3-D (if you have the glasses)!
Amazing images of the crumbling mansions of drug lords:

A fun concept mirror for graphic designers:
The Walkabout looks at the 6% experiment, pretty cool to read about.
If you read nothing else political today, read this very short story. And learn who the real job creators are, and how to distract from that fact.
That’s it for now, but I’ll be back soon!
Let’s see what I have today. First up, the track sampler of Mika’s new album:
If you haven’t donated yet, there is still time to donate to help build a Tesla museum.
ManMadeDIY has an awesome post of funny WiFi network names (click through for more):

And my favorite post from This Advertising Life this week!
That’s it for now, have a great one!
Alright, let’s see what I have today. First up, fun WTF posters:
This is what annoyed me about college, especially freshmen year. Students who didn’t know how to live away from home. Apparently, now it’s even worse with students paying for disposable sheets, cleaning services and deliveries of snacks.

A vial of John Paul II’s blood was stolen and then recovered. Creepy.
A schism in atheism? Never thought I’d hear of that.
The Ohio Art company is once again cashing in on the Etch-a-sketch, and I don’t blame them at all:
The richest women in the world thinks that those who are poor are just lazy and should work harder. Like her, you know, since she inherited $30 billion from her father. You know, hard work.
This is just shameful: remember a few weeks ago Romney had a rally in Ohio that was attended by “enthusiastic” coal miners? They were forced to attend by their employer, and not paid for that day, either.
Also in somewhat political news, a delegate (from PA, sadly) at the RNC was offended that a Mexican immigrant was working at the America station in Epcot. Sigh.
And the reaction shot from the White House to #Eastwooding:
That’s it for now, have a great one!
Note: This was mislabeled and unpublished from the back-end of the website, sorry about that!
Alright, let’s see what I have this time. First up, some amazing ads from Greenpeace:
ABC has ordered a S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot, to be written by Joss Whedon, which is so incredible to hear! But don’t worry, Captain Hammer is ready to help!
It’s funny and cute:
Sadly, a lot of Facebook Brand pages look like this.
If you’ve ever wondered what the layout to the apartments from The Big Bang Theory are, here they are (although I can’t imagine an actual building would have these kind of layouts, they strangely work well for TV:
What if a t-rex fought in WWII? Find out here.
That’s it for now, but I’ll be back soon!
So many points to a great volunteer who had today’s title on his facebook earlier this week.
Let’s see what we have, first up:
Lifehacker has a cool post up about using paper bags as a floor covering. I also like the idea in the comments about adding old maps mixed it.
They also cover how to make an emergency bracelet that conceals fishing equipment. A nice hack on something very trendy right now.
Thank you, Bill Nye:
Kind of like the meme of placing photos in their real world space, this does the same with album covers, pretty cool.
This is so very, very true:
Wow, image heavy post today, but here’s one more for you:
