Bored with the Web? Stumble!

Stumble!

I found* a neat little toolbar for the excellent Firefox browser: StumbleUpon. * All credits to SF Pang.

All you have to do is download the 'Extension' and sign up for its service.

Basically, Stumble is a service that recommends interesting websites based on topic and popularity. Its presence is felt in the browser through this toolbar:


During the sign up process you will be prompted to provide the topics you are interested in. Topics you can pick include: Chinese Music News, Cars, Online Games, Psychology, Food recipes, "Kristal Housemates Forever"*, "Lok people from the north"*, ...over 100 boredom-eradicating categories!

*How I wish the last two were really there!

Then, all you have to do is click on "Stumble" and off to a ramdom site you go. Don't like it? Click Stumble again and another site pops out. In each case you get to approve ("I Like It") or disapprove the site, allowing Stumble to keep a user record of INTERESTING and uninteresting sites, further improving the service.

One nice little site I stumbled upon was the "Laser" game, where you use mirrors and prisms to control a laser beam. FUN!

Here's another interesting picture from Ebaumsworld, "Dirty Minds", an indicator of how 'dirty' we have came to be :-)...


Take a look at the picture, what do you see? The following quotes are from the site:

"Research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such scenario. What they will see are the nine dolphins.
Additional note: This is a test to determine if you already have a corrupted mind. If it's hard for you to find the dolphins within 3 seconds, your mind is indeed corrupted."


The Truth: It was extremely difficult to see any dolphin at all!!! My oh my...
