In a project completely unrelated to originally programming and acquiring incredible BBC shows, Netflix has just launched Fast.com, a site that does just one thing: check your connection speed. Yes, there are other options out there, including the go-to Speedtest.net, but there is something beautifully clean and simple about Netflix’s new service. Not only does the minimal-looking site quickly give you a real-time reading, but it even works nicely on mobile. The launch of Fast.com is meant to promote faster, better internet, and to make everyone aware of their download speeds.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
