So apparently I have found something that is more time consuming than facebook, and that is stumble upon.com. For those of you that have been living under a rock for the last several months and do not know what it is yet, it is basically a site that just randomly goes to sites based on what you say is you interests.
Most of my interests that come up on my stumble upon are either scientific facts (like the weird interesting ones, not the boring ones), online video games, and photography. I am not even kidding when I say that the first day that I started using it, which was over spring break, I pretty much used it for about 5 hours in one day.
I'm not quite sure what it is about it that is so addicting, but some of the stuff that is on there is so cool you just cannot wait to see what is going to come up next. I find myself going, ok one more stumble, then once I do that site for a little while, whatever it may be, I just cannot help but hitting stumble one more time. This usually happens for like a solid hour sometimes (not lately though because things have been absolutely crazy because apparently almost all of my professors decided to give exams back to back).
Another thing that I usually do is post the links that I liked the most on facebook, so I know that my friends get tired of seeing my statuses or links or whatever they are called about the random things I have found on stumble upon. This is one of favorites: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2aSAPB/dvice.com/archives/2010/12/11-cheap-gifts.php
I can’t help but think some of this stuff is awesome. I know it’s kind of nerdy but I don’t really care.
Another good one is this one: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2FK3Nz/www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Ddv8kNTH-KDY
I'm pretty sure my jaw literally dropped when I saw the finished product of this.
That’s pretty much all I have this week, this was a good little break from studying but now I have to go back to that. I guess I’ll talk to ya’ll next week.
