The New York Times: The Flattening of Design →
Justin Van Slembrouck, design director at Digg, the social news site, said that while some design decisions were made as stylistic choices, “it is increasingly being driven by mobile, where you’re designing for the lowest common denominator so you can’t load a site up with heavy graphics.” He added, “The end result, with flat design, is that it all feels less cluttered.”

two sentence Mad Men review (season 6, episode 4)
Don Draper doesn’t care for this whole “women’s lib” thing. The difference between ketchup and catsup: a certain amount water and blandness that makes Peggy Olsen angry.

How Bands and Start Ups Are Similar →
joshsternberg: I recently met with a CEO of a Denver start-up. He was in Manhattan pitching one of the largest media agencies in the world. We crossed paths at a mutual friend’s apartment, where said CEO was crashing. We got to talking about the trials and tribulations of being a start-up; that world is not unknown to me, as I counseled and represented many a start-up when I was in public...

From Nate SIlver: This is not a tossup:  Friday’s polling should make it easy to discern why Mr. Obama has the Electoral College advantage. There were 22 polls of swing states published Friday. Of these, Mr. Obama led in 19 polls, and two showed a tie. Mitt Romney led in just one of the surveys, a Mason-Dixon poll of Florida. …  Although the fact that Mr. Obama held the lead in so many...

upworthy growing faster than huffingtonpost and...
But not necessarily because of social. From co-founder Eli Pariser in All Things D:  What’s interesting is that so far the major social referrers have been a smaller part of Upworthy than might have been thought. Facebook is starting to be important — Upworthy is now up past 425,000 Facebook fans, with about half of them joining in the past month — but “We haven’t been really good at Twitter as...

What Does Your Favorite Wes Anderson Movie Say...
Yep, they pretty much nailed it for me: Bottle Rocket (1996): You are a man of a certain age. You may have dated Jen. You enjoy pot smoking, boozing, and hanging out on your eclectically designed (velvet, round, sporadically cushioned) couch. You wouldn’t call yourself a hipster, exactly, but you enjoy things that are not of the mainstream, things that you can presume to have discovered...
