Back For More

by Carmen Cruz


After a summer filled with exciting getaways to exotic destinations like *said in a whisper* 'Edmonton', I'm back.
I know, I know, you've missed me right? Yes loyal readers (aka: Mom and sometimes, if I'm really lucky, Dad), the slacking has come to an end. 

With fall (my absolute favourite season) just around the corner, you can almost smell the change in the air, and you know what that means...
It's time to stop procrastinating on the hundreds of projects that have been sitting there... waiting... waiting... AND it's finally time to revamp the ol' website (tech stuff = eyes glazing over).

Yes friends, change is coming soon.

Until then, here are a few things to make your Monday fly by a bit quicker.

Cool sites to check out:


Awkward Family Photos - Because you'll never get sick of this website. Hilarity always ensues.


Internet Fart - Probably one of the best gif sites ever. It's an experimental digital arts project that will kinda blow your mind. Sit. Watch. Enjoy.




Fashion Grandpas (Instagram) - You'll want to adopt each and every last one of them... or have the itch to run out and buy a bow tie.





Aaaand why not finish off by watching topless people get Tasered, all in the name of art. (Don't worry, it's totally safe for work).




Enjoy.

WTF Friday Video Of The Day: Awkward Family Photos

by Carmen Cruz


Awkward Family Photos.Com is by far one of my favourite sites on the internet.
If you've never heard of it, it's basically a hilarious, awkward and WTF-type mix of family photos that people submit to the website. It's a brilliant way to kill 30 minutes at work (not that I condone that type of Tom Foolery... ;D).
Here's is a hilarious and awkward slideshow of some of the most ridiculous pregnancy photos you'll ever see. WTF were the photographers thinking?!?!?!



Enjoy.

Bored At Work? Not Anymore!

by Carmen Cruz


Ok. So you're sitting there at work right now, bored out of your skull.
I like to consider myself the connoisseur of 'interesting websites that entertain'. Let's be honest here, you've hit a wall and creativity has reached a low point. I think that by visiting some of these sites, you'll get the inspiration you need to continue your day. So in essence, I'm helping with your productivity, not reducing it... right? Yeah. Let's stick to that.


Here are a few of my favourite sites. LOVE THEM!

Awkward Family Photos ~ The title says it all. Hilarious!  









CRAIGSLIST!!!! ~ Self explanatory. I LOOOOOVE this site. I could surf it for hours. Check out the free section (there's some seriously WEIRD stuff on there sometimes) and more importantly, check out the 'Best of Craigslist' section. It's on the bottom left hand corner area (small writing). There's also 'Craigslist TV'. It's in the same area as the 'Best of Craigslist'. Watch it. You won't be disappointed.
**Random side note: Did you know that this site was created by a dude named... yup! Craig! His name is Craig Newmark and here's a little interview clip about him. Cool.




Damn You Auto Correct ~ We've all had this happen. The auto correct changes an innocent text into a moment of awkwardness and hilarity. Enjoy










 

27bslash6 ~ A cheeky blog written by this sarcastic douchebag in Australia. If you have sarcastic humour, like me, you'll be laughing your ass off. One of my favourite entries is called 'Missing Missy'. I laughed till I cried. Literally. Make sure you click on the 'complain about this page' link on the right hand side of the page. This guy is AWESOME!






Free Arcade ~ If you're more of a 'gamer' (and I use this term loosely. There's no World of Warcraft on this site) then check out this site. I first heard about this site from a few classmates back in my broadcasting school days in Edmonton, Alberta. At NAIT, I was in the RTA (radio & television arts) program (in TV. FUN!) and during our law & ethics class (not so fun) we would play the game Collapse. We'd play for the entire class, trying to beat each others high score. Good times. Great game. **MAKE SURE THE COMPUTER VOLUME IS ON MUTE WHEN YOU HIT THIS SITE**


 

The Onion ~ A Classic! A parody news organization. Be sure to check out the A.V Club section too.


Ok. That's enough time wasting material. Get back to work.




Besos,
