Here's the funny thing about the Internet: No matter how much time you actually spend online, you will never see and experience everything the web has to offer. The sheer magnitude of videos, blogs, games, photos, social media sites and zany GIFs is far too much for one person to find on their own. So we decided to compile a handy list. Here are the best things to do on the Internet this weekend, June 8 - 9. You've got 48 hours; make it count!

Social media-addicts take note: you can now make your Facebook an actual book!

Info can be culled from a particular year or a specified date range. And for all the Facebook early adopters who are still using the social network, you can even go as far back as 2007 to include content." Your move, Twitter.
Watch Q-Tip's Red Bull Music Academy Lecture

Brush Up on Mad Men Conspiracy Theories
Will Don murder Megan? Or is she already dead? Speculation has been running rampant as season six of Mad Men comes to a close these next few weeks. Pop culture writer Tanya Ghahremani writes, "It's crazy, yes, but we have to admit, the evidence presented does make sense: [Uproxx's Dustin] Rowles points out that Don has a history of hallucinating the dearly departing-it happened with Anna Draper on the night she died-and in last Sunday's episode, Don had a hallucination of both the definitely deceased Private Jenkins, and of a pregnant Megan while he was floating facedown in a pool, briefly dead." Wait, did Mad Men just turn into The Sixth Sense? You can draw your own conclusions here.

Figure Out Exactly How Much The NSA Knows About You
Yesterday, we were treated to the more-than-slightly-disconcerting news that the federal government has been collecting personal information about us via tech giants such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and YouTube. Things like our private search histories, call logs, and more have been collected by the NSA for what they refer to as an "anti-terrorism program," and worse yet, this data collection has been taking place since as early as 2007. Yikes. Head over to Complex Tech for a comprehensive report on the issue.
