Look, Ma! Sesame Street's House of Bricks and Say No to The Dress
Coming up for air after watching Season 3 of House of Cards? Meet Frank Underwolf. And for those of you who ALSO have #TheDress fatigue, skip ahead to Vaginal Fallout. You won't be disappointed

House of Cards
Did you get the kids to bed early so you could binge watch Season 3 this weekend? Well, now that you're back among the living, check out Sesame's Street's wicked take on it.
The Dress fatigue
First of all, enough with The Dress. #WhiteandGold or #BlueandBlack, it is all the same to us. Someone wore a dress. The human mind is amazing in its perception of stuff. The Internet went berserk. Enough! If you want to enjoy some brainmelting optical illusions, try this gallery instead.
The CBC has a sweetly snarky piece on how companies rushed to cash in on the craze, moving with the kind of speed Mad Men did not need to worry about back in the 'net-less days of yore.
Or just skip the snark and check out the ads.
Post-Partum: The Musical
Speaking of Mad Men, the marketing geniuses at HelloFlo are back, this time with a spot-on take on that super-fun, super-glamorous, oh-so-dignified time right after you give birth. You know, when it seems like everything hurts, bleeds or leaks? The expression "Vaginal Fallout" alone is worth the price of admission.
Does not include North Mountain
Not content to let us just suffer the interminable winter, CBC Kids, the sadists, give our young readers a fun, educational read on the coldest spots on our planet. Oddly, even though it is ruinous to blood circulation and mugs of hot coffee, this editor's office is not included. Huh.
The new Pinterest feed, decoded
"With all due respect to a pinner who created a board featuring 47,863 items carefully curated under the category Everything, it’s boards like these that start to make Pinterest a less valuable place for me to find the things I am looking for." -- The folks at coolmompicks.com, who have created an exhaustive explanation of what has changed on Pinterest, why, and most importantly, HOW TO GET AROUND IT and go back to seeing stuff that matters to you.
It's a long read, but artfully divided into sections, so glean from it what you need and go forth and Pin with renewed happiness.
