Well, a lot of stuff happened this week. A whole lot of stuff...
1. All the heavy news and division got you down this week? Take your mind off of it by watching two idiots destroy the world of Skyrim with a collection of the worst mods ever.
2. Adweek's round up of the "6 Topics That Gained the Most Traction on Facebook in October" is just bizarre. Who new there were some many arborists out there?
3. Ouch, the city of El Paso lost 3.2 million to an invoice scam. Always make sure you're sending those cheques to the right people!
4. Tired of seeing red? So is Google. The search engine giant has started flagging and penalizing repeat offender sites. Sites that frequently have issues with malicious code and other unpleasantness are going on the naughty list.
5. Is your phone leaking trade secrets? This article is an amazing look at mobile devices, industrial espionage, and the all the weird kinds of data you wouldn't think to secure on a factory floor but probably should. Some of this is more hypothetical than practical, but it's all interesting!
6. Elon Musk says universal income will be necessary to survive the impending robotic take over of the service, driving, and delivery industries. You know, by the robots he's helping to design.
7. Instagram has added some long overdue features to the service, Time to start tagging your videos!
8. This is a charming story of one man's custom feed/seed hat and the struggle of when your personal style becomes ironically hip overnight.
9. We lost Leonard Cohen this week, a Canadian icon. This would be a good time to revisit some of his classics.
10. The NES Classic is out now which probably won't mean much to most people since they'll be sold out and impossible to get till February. However, this collection of classic NES instruction manuals Nintendo released along with it is life itself. Ahhh, memories.
