Shared: Social Media Explained — With Donuts
Social Media Explained — With Donuts by Ray Basile on iPhone Savior:
The creative team at Three Ships Media didn’t plan on their hysterical “Social Media and Donuts” post to go viral. But after making the rounds on Facebook, the team has proved that “sometimes the best ideas are the easiest.”
“There are plenty of projects that can and should require hours of work. But sometimes the best ideas – and the most successful — are ones that fly off the hand,” said Adam Rhew.
“We used donuts because we had just been talking about a weekend road race in which participants ran two miles, ate 12 glazed Krispy Kremes, and ran another two miles. The whole thing took us all of five minutes.”
Rhew explained that it would have been easy to mock up something using Illustrator or Final Cut Pro instead of deliberately keeping it simple. There’s no denying that this hand-tooled communication delivered through Instagram is perfectly inspiring.
“In this case, the low-tech, lo-fi approach worked. Why make life more complicated than it needs to be?” Rhew added.

The Great Hall of Hams by Xeni Jardin on Boing Boing:
A worker checks in a special room where the Parma hams are hung to dry in Langhirano near Parma. Prosciutto di Parma can only be produced in a very restricted area of 29 sq km (11.2 sq mile) around the town of Parma in the region of Emilia Romagna, just north of Tuscany. Around 10 million hams are sold every year, of which about 2 million are exported, mainly to France, the United States and Germany, which each consume about 400,000 a year.

Red wine research may have been falsified by Xeni Jardin on Boing Boing:
Remember all that research about resveratrol, the compound in red wine said to help your heart? “Following a three-year investigation, a university review board has concluded that Dipak K. Das, Ph.D., the director of the Cardiovascular Research Center at the university’s school of medicine, in Farmington, manipulated research data in at least 145 instances.”
