The Sites I Like

This, is not an ad.

That being said, I feel that perhaps my fan base is saying, "J, what do you like? We know how you feel, why not talk about that which interests you..."

That's what I feel that you are saying. So as I enjoy a big MF'n bowl of beef-flavored ramen noodles, I thought to myself, what DO I like?

I must foremost (WHOA!) mention that these are splendid nuggets I have found on the web because of days of aimless "cross-browsing." Cross-browsing is the practice of going to one website of interest, and clicking a link to another site that may interest me and continuing from there. Thus a never-ending cycle of browsing new and exciting websites becomes a hobby. Here, my friendly readers, is a non-exhaustive (WOO!) list of some of my favorite websites that may have absolutely nothing to do with me. Let me also say, that me simply linking my site to theirs gives them more viewing pleasure upon the tops of search engines, such as Google. Whom, I have to owe the power of this blog to. Thanks Google.

And so I begin:

• The Sneeze.com - Half Zine, Half Blog, Half not good with fractions: Meet Steve, a normal guy with a wife and a kid, who owns a blog site, just like me. The Sneeze however, is unique in his observant humor and slapstick comedy, this is not your normal guy. Check out the best of or just start at the beginning and laugh till you cry. Famous posts include "Steve don't eat it!" and "The Toilet Naming Contest" - The winner was "The Shatner." Enjoy.


• Improveverywhere.com - Oh how I love drama. I love drama people with nothing to do. I love large collections of drama people in a major city like New York. Improv Everywhere say they "Cause Scenes, and that is just the beginning. Some of the funniest moments and the most amazing reality pics and vid as these "Agents" randomly involve the locals in dramatic humor, and they never say a word about it. Watch and be amazed.


• Emotioneric.com - I found this little gem recently when searching for an avatar for a message board. I didn't find an avatar. What I found was this site, where one guy (Eric)conveys requsted emotions (i.e. - happiness, sadness, or "Gee Wally, that was swell!") A good hour was wasted. It was lovely.


• Armorgames.com - Armor games is the number 3 reason I use the computer. #1 being my Website and business, #2 being... well anyway, this is #3. Hundreds of fantastic little flash games that I can't play at work. So I enjoy them at home next to my girlfriend in bed. Favorite games include "Fancy Pants adventure" and "Four Second Frenzy." Play on.


• LOSTpedia.com - First let me say, a WIKI is like a BLOG, it is a general name for an open source editable informational document on the web, much like a BLOG is a online web log. That being said, do not confuse Wikipedia.org, with LOSTpedia.com. They are both WIKI's, one is dedicated to everything, and I mean EVERYTHING; the other is dedicated simply to the greatest TV show... ever: LOST. If you want to know everything about LOST, or you think you know better, you can even edit the content... because its a WIKI. Does that make sense?


• Wikipedia.org - I mean let's be honest here, I'm on this site EVERY STINKIN DAY. There is more information - for free - on this site than that guy from Jeopardy that went on like a 70 game streak. It's a WIKI however - and now we know that it means that it is an editable open source. That means it could be wrong. That means don't use it for research papers. I've researched everything from the rock 'n' roll revolution to the Chaos Theory.


• AskMen.com - for guys. It's like an instruction manual for life, gentlemen.


• HowStuffWorks.com - This site is fantastic. You may know How it's made on the Discovery/Science Channels, well this is how it WORKS. Everything from cars to audio to dvds to bridges, viruses to how kissing works. Ever wonder - "How does that wor-" Yep. It's on there.
