An absolute goldmine of shimmering internet nuggets this week as we relieve you of the duty of panning for web-based gold. This time around we have an article about what makes us love or hate a logo, a clip of a Japanese gameshow involving slippery stairs and an interview with David LaChapelle that includes some serious name-dropping. Enjoy!
