Hello everyone, I can actually say that now because it is possible that more than one person will read this. Now that I am so famous it's been hard for me to find time to think of awesome things, so I just put off writing this post for a while. In my first post, I asked for suggestions for awesome things to write about, so far I have only received one suggestion, and that was to write about my brother, but that was a suggestion I heard from my brother, so I will ignore it because he has nothing but terrible ideas. Besides, it would take much too long to write about than I have time to write. Also, I was at a symposium at my brother's school because I am so awesome that I go back to high school years after I have graduated to volunteer for stuff there. Furthermore, I am leaving to go camping in about an hour, so I'm sort of pressed for time, but I'll try to finish quickly. I guess I should stop making up excuses then and just get on with the post, so let's go. Today I will be talking about StumbleUpon, which will help you spend your whole life on the Internet, and The Weather Network, which is exactly what it sounds like. Remember, becoming awesome is not a spectator sport, so get out there and start being awesome.
StumbleUpon
Level of Awesomeness: Fall-on-your-face kind of awesome
What Is It: Like Kiva, StumbleUpon is a web-based service, but unlike Kiva it cannot help anyone and it will probably use up a lot of your time doing almost nothing, but it is still awesome. Do you like things on the Internet? Would you like someone to find more things that you like on the Internet for free, and give them to you without you having to do any work? Of course you would, you're not a crazy person are you? That is what StumbleUpon is for. You simply need to indicate your interests, and install the toolbar, then whenever you press the Stumble button you will be taken to awesome websites full of the things you like. Bored of doing research for that paper? Press the Stumble button, and receive instant gratification with gloriously awesome websites right before your eyes!
Why Is It Awesome: Weren't you listening? Awesome stuff, for free, instantly, you don't have to do any work. For example, I pressed my Stumble button and found this sweet picture of a cheetah painted on someone's hand.
Awesome cheetah hand
Without StumbleUpon I probably would have had to search the Internet for a fortnight before finding this. Actually, I probably would never have realized I wanted to look at animals painted on people's hands unless StumbleUpon had shown me. StumbleUpon: For finding all the awesome things online that you never knew you wanted to know about.
The Weather Network
Level of Awesomeness: Partly cloudy with periods of awesome
What Is It:
Weather!
The Weather Network tells you what the weather is like, what the weather was like and what the weather will be like. Being from Canada, about 90% of conversations I have are about the weather (eg. It sure is cold today, Why is it snowing so much, I wish it was warmer etc.) so having a one-stop shop for all things related to weather is awesome. The Weather Network can be found both on television and on the Internet, but it is much more awesome on TV because it has sweet music. Admittedly, the quality of music has gone down ever since they changed their background music like 3 years ago, because that song was amazing. But for a limited time only you can listen to it right here!
Why Is It Awesome: Because talking about the weather is always cool (no pun intended), and watching a TV show that is 100% weather is basically pure awesomeness.
