What Can I Do On The Internet When I’m Bored [Surprise Me Google!]

Bored On The Internet

Are you bored or SO bored?

I just found out today that hundreds of people everyday go to Google and type in the term “I’m bored” and they want to be surprised by Google.

I found this out because I was bored and I was wondering what can I do on the internet when I’m bored.  It turns out a lot of people are looking for fun things to do at work when bored and top things to do when bored.

It’s good that bored people have a lot of company; at least they’re not bored and lonely.

Chat Roulette: A Live Review of ChatRoulette.Com

chatroulette-review-1I am just reading in the entertainment section of the newspaper about this website called ChatRoulette.com.

It´s a website where everybody is LIVE on webcams.  No doctored photos or photos of people from 10 years before.  It is all apparently live, pimples and all.

So, I´m gonna pop on the computer and see what all the fuss is about — this is my official ChatRoulette review.

What would you do for five dollars?

Over the weekend, I had a boring technical task that I needed to accomplish and I searched the Internet to see if there were people out there who did it.  Maybe they like to do it; I didn’t.

This search led me to a website called Fiverr.com: “The place for people to share things they’re willing to do for $5.”

How To Focus…Or Not

how-to-focusThis morning I lost focus which happens with regularity.

Fortunately, I can control it because I am aware of it.  If you are aware of losing focus, does that by definition make you focused?

My intention was to create a page on my how to video site about how to copy a DVD to a DVD because a lot of people want to know how to do this.  I had already written about how to copy DVD to hard drive and people really liked it so I thought I would expand on the topic.

Then, I lost focus.Read More

The Curious Case of The Best Man Speech [The Fornication Line]

best-man-speech-fornicationEver heard the “fornication” line to open a best man speech? If not, it’s coming soon to a wedding near you.

Over the summer, I attended a wedding along with a few hundred other people.  It was a gorgeous summer afternoon and the outside wedding was proceeding flawlessly.  Weddings can have hiccups as sometimes things go awry, but on this day everything was going perfect.

And then came time for the Best Man Speech.

What happened?  Did he ruin the wedding?  Did he give one of the worst best man speeches of all time?

A RooshV Website Update: Oh My How Things Have Changed!

roosh-v-website-reviewBelow is a review of Roosh V and his website I did back in 2008. Looking back now in 2020, a lot has happened in the life of Roosh.

As you will probably be able to tell in my review from 2008 below, I really enjoyed reading his thoughts and ideas. He was crude but sincere, deep yet surfacy, troubling but titillating. Above all, Roosh was entertaining and filterless, which you see far too infrequently now-a-days.
