A guide to wasting time online

It’s the biggest guilty pleasure out there, a time-waster that  is so immense it can’t be calculated. It’s also a lot of fun.

Mindless Internet surfing.

I admit it. I waste a lot of time online. But I also find some really cool —albeit totally useless – websites. Like the one called the Great Office War. It is a masterpiece. An epic. And totally useless. And fun. Where did they get all those cool Nerf guns? Seriously, wouldn’t you like to do this in your office.?  But… that’s not all the serendipity you can find by, well, stumbling upon.

Like the site which lets you watch and play 20 different YouTube video clips at random and all at once.

Or the Russian guy who spent 18 days making his own Wall-E Robot case for his computer and documented every step with photos.

Or 40 computer pranks to play on your friends.

OK, you get the idea. Want to waste your own time? Get a free account on Stumble Upon. Click off the categories you’re interested in and… start stumbling. It takes you on a random hunt for… websites you never knew existed.

    Mike, I really miss your articles in the Free Press. Where do you have a column now and/or what are you doing now?
