Where do the weeks go eh? September feels like it’s only just begun, but here we find ourselves tripping into October like it’s a piece of loose carpet on the stairs. So as we nurse our sore toes, let’s take a look at this week’s Best of the Web. For this addition we’ve got people drawing logos from memory, a museum of selfies and a scary video about how Facebook is taking over our lives. Enjoy!
