In My Pocket: Tribute to Paul Walker, the Beastie Boys, Black Friday, and more!

In My Pocket is a weekly feature where J9 and I share some of the links we’ve collected in Pocket. (To find out what Pocket is and how to use it, check out my tutorial on Pocket.) Some links will be book-related while some may be off-topic. Who knows what you’ll find in our Pocket ;) And if you use Pocket, we invite you to share what’s in your Pocket as well.

In Brianna's Pocket:

• After Paul Walker’s death in a fiery car wreck last Saturday, the studio has pledged to give a percentage of the proceeds from the home entertainment sales of "Fast & Furious 6" to Walker's charity, Reach Out WorldWide. Also following the actor’s shocking and tragic death, the people behind the Fast & Furious YouTube channel posted a tribute to Paul Walker.
• Here’s a cool video of some NBA players doing Jingle Hoops. What’s incredible, at least to me, is that is was done in one continuous shot.
• The to-do list kit for people with OCD. Want!
• Wrecking Ball – the Chatroulette edition. This guy is hilarious! – Thanks J9 for the link!
• GoldieBlox used “Girls” parody in their ad then sued the Beastie Boys. Say what?!! In the end, GoldieBlox removed the song. #TeamBeastieBoys
• This is why I do not participate in Black Friday. Fighting people over the chance to buy something? Uh, no. If there’s something I want badly enough, I’ll wait for Cyber Monday thank you very much. I can’t imagine working in retail on that day. I feel for those who do. And kudos to the people brave enough to film the madness. Black Friday should be a sport. Oh wait, I got it! Black Friday, Hunger Games style!
• Speaking of the holidays, here’s a funny holiday parody with Jimmy Fallon, Rashida Jones, and Carrie Underwood.
• If you are anxiously awaiting Santa’s arrival, here are some ways you can track Santa.
• Kmart has had some really good commercials this year, including the Show Your Joe commercial. JCPenney got a little jealous and made some remarks on Twitter, which made Kmart look even better.
