Hell Of Sand
This thing is fucking unbelieveable! I almost feel bad for sharing it, i blame my F in math on this thing. I know it looks stupid, and ugly, its so simple, but so fun, I played this for so long i began to dream about multicoloured sand, my favourite thing is putting a line of "plant" at the bottom, and putting a line of "spout" at the top, then filling the plant that grows with nitroglycerine while it grows, then setting it on fire. Sometimes the java applet doesnt like to work, so click on this.
XKCD
The funniest webcomic ive ever found, who ever writes it is a fucking genius and knows retarded amounts about every subject you can imagine. So its hilarious, but you learn something along the way. And knowledge is power.
Geekologie
The first website i check every morning. Its full of random awesome stuff, even though at least 50% of what is posted comes straight from gizmodo.com. Its kinda like a less serious, dumbed down version of gizmodo. Make sure you actaully read the mini articles that go with it. Its really worth it, the writers quite the wordsmith, just he way he says things is hilarious.
Chart Porn
I just found chart porn, some of it can be a little bland, recently theres a lot about the economy and haiti, but theres some genius and funny stuff on there too. And i find info-graphics interesting sometimes, maybe its just me.
TED
This vid is really funny, but alot of the other talks are really facinating. I like to watch ted after i get a bad mark on something. It makes me feel intelligent again. I hope that one day a moment comes where i am siting around a fireplace infront of a bearskin rug, in high backed chairs smoking a pipe, drinking sherry and talking to an old british man with a large moustache, so i can bring up the facinating conversation starters i learned while watching ted.
... and when all hope is lost, and there is 1500 words to write about Robin Woods theory of the repressed in horror films, or Maximilien Robespierre's role in the french revolution, and there is not a reason in the world for you not to do it.. there is stumble. I think grant put it best when he said: "There is a lot of random shit on the internet, and im glad that stumbleupon is there to hold my hand and guide me"
StumbleUpon
Yea this stumble is not to be taken lightly, choose your categories wisely, for they will determine your interests and thoughts for many a coming month. Stumble, she be a double edged sword, one of uncountable joy and unimagionable suffering and mental torment. Time travel has been invented, as stumble can propell you hours into the future and leave you with no recollection of what happened. Use at your own risk. I hold no responsibility for death due to lack of hydration, vitimine D, or madness.
PS. i realize that this post will be almost completely useless to you grant, as you have already seen more of the cyber world than is normal of a man twice your age. You have learned much in you brief 5 months in the land of broadband, and i fear t'was not for the better. (jk)
