Sorry I missed last week, I was moving in to a new house! We are back at it this week with some excellent internet treasures.
When you spend as much time on the internet for work as we do, you come across some crazy stuff. We're sharing our favorite videos, stories, pictures, and more from the past week every Friday. Consider it our gift to you for making it through the week. Feel free to share your own favorite internet find in the comments.

Hitchhiking robot that relied on human kindness found decapitated
It is the sad tale of what happens to a hitching hiking robot on his trip across the US. He made it all throughout Canada (26 days) and Germany, but sadly only lasted two days in the US before being found dismembered in a ditch. Although this was just a robot, it definitely makes you think about what that says about our society here in the US.

I’m a big fan of Belt Magazine, which chronicles Rust Belt cities like Cleveland, Detroit, and Pittsburgh. The stories are typically off-beat and the reporting is sometimes edgy. This week, they published a sample of some interesting Cleveland essays.
