Great little site where people upload emails/chats/texts from their Moms. It's fast set to be my new greatest worktime time waster after lolcats.

Hi sweetie,

Do you know how to google yourself? I heard on the radio that people can google themselves. I’ve done a lot of things to myself before, but I’ve never googled myself.

Check them all out here

Approximately 14,500 color slides taken between 1938 and 1969 taken by amateur photographer, Charles W. Cushman and donated to Indiana University.

See them here.

Simon's post reminds me one of my favorite zines, Found Magazine. There are some similarities in terms of passive-aggressiveness but it's the mysterious and transcendent fragments of strangers' lives that truly move and inspire here. Plus it's often funny.

Unrelated to the magazine (I think), but also hilarious and strange is the Found Footage Film Festival. Worth watching the sample videos on there..

The joys of co-habitation oh how I don't miss thee in the slightest! The unpaid bills, the unwashed plates, the lack of toilet paper, the pumping techno at 3am and lest not forget the overflowing bins. Unfortunately many of us don't possess the courage of Larry David to stand up against these ne'er do wells who inflict themselves upon us every single goddamn day of the year. But alas we do have hope, we can voice our opinions, stand up, be heard, embrace the Passive Aggressive Note.

This is cool.

I have found the future of the internet, and it is ChaCha.

Like Google it is a full-feature search engine; with a twist!
After typing in your search query, you are able to connect with a LIVE, yes LIVE, person who will custom tailor your results and have a little chat with you while your results compile.



I've tested it, and it has blown my mind.

Following on from Jarin's netvibes post, del.icio.us is another web 2.0 application (albeit a very basic one) that allows you to store and share all your bookmarks remotely and access them by logging on to any computer. It also shows you how many other users have the same link and what tags they used to store it. Is it all just another useless novel gimmick? Perhaps but I do like the idea of accessing an url I might have bookmarked at home here at work and vice versa.

http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~macopism/noct/data/

kinda pretty. kinda neeat. (dont forget to try moving the cursor too)
and best while mellow.. ha ha;) i ve looking at it at the same time as listening to Brij Brushan, Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Shiv Kumar Sharma "Call of the Valley"... which i will upload to this blog as soon as i figure out how!..
until then ..

Although it's been an annoying buzz word for at least a year or two now, it has to be admitted that the amorphous entity that is Web 2.0 has yielded a few useful/invasively addictive web sites. F'rexample, it seems hard to believe the music industry was able to conduct business prior to MySpace and a clever AJAX webmail application like Gmail makes Hotmail seem like..um..something really antiquated. Anyway, as you can tell by my long-winded and vaguely geeky introduction, I'm on the fence about anything that tends towards "buzz"-iness on the web. That said, I'm sold on this extremely Web 2.0 site I ran across the other day: www.netvibes.com.
