Our friends at Scoutmob run what I think is one of the best deals sites out there in a market as crowded as a Radiohead show. Not only are there some sweet deals to places I’ve been jonesing to try, but its focus is on the smaller businesses that treat their customers like a first date they want to impress. Scoutmob’s site and app design is fresh and their emails also clue you in to some happenin’ events in your city each week. For the holidays, Scoutmob is asking us to make a pledge (that part’s free) to support our indie retailers and restaurants taking risks to do what they love. Three winners will get hooked up with $200 to spend on Etsy.

Here’s a reminder not to be afraid to see things differently. I think you can change the world. I dare you. And you can start by purchasing this letterpress poster because 100% of the profits are donated to Acumen Fund‘s mission to end worldwide poverty.

It’s not baseball season anymore, but I’m still not sure how the Baseball Friends web series isn’t more popular. This short showcasing the sensitive side of old Mets teammates David Wright and Jose Reyes is too funny. “Nooooo. Not all the games.”

Growing up is seriously overrated, so why not give gifts that bring out the little kid within all of us? You know, the one that welcomed each day with a smile, dreamt big and always made time for fun? Here are ten gems to get the party started…you can thank me later.

Come join us this Friday for an interactive panel discussion on Social Media For Social Good. It all goes down inside Wired’s holiday pop-up store in Times Square and features founders from Warby Parker, Catchafire, Tweet Drive and Holstee. I’ll be moderating the panel so feel free to tweet any questions. Admission costs only a hi-five and is open to the public. Hope to see you there!

Portable music for small groups can be a hassle. Sure, there are any number of docks these days but many of them require batteries or put a big-time drain on your device. Plus, sometimes it makes an outing a little more high-tech than it needs to be. I’ve known about the iBamboo speaker for a few months and anxiously awaited it’s release (it’s finally out today), but if you haven’t heard, it’s an eco-conscious speaker for the iPhone 4/4S made entirely of bamboo. I can’t say this is going to be audiophile quality, but for $25 it’s worth a shot and might be just the thing for some tunes at a picnic, campsite or bonfire.
