Kill Time Efficiently
Remember the last time you were bored and didnt know where to look for entertainment? You had gone through the entire list of your daily haunts. Read all the blogs that remotely interest you. You Googled your name and the name of everyone you know to see what pops up and that took only like 6 mins. Remember the frustration that sets in at that point? Not anymore. Unless of course you are one of the billions of morons who continue to use Internet Explorer.
There is a new extension for Firefox. StumbleUpon. You can set your preferences and at a click of a button you will be taken to a random page based on your preferences. I have been using it for 3 weeks now, and I have been loving it. I have come across hundreds of interesting pages that I would have never found otherwise. Now that I know I will die on July 25, 2051 I can rest in peace.

Hey anything I can do to kill other people’s productivity is a step towards increasing mine on a relative scale
