The Internet is a glorious and infinite network of information where one can waste hours upon hours of their precious time just browsing anything and everything for research and entertainment purposes. A few months back, I was introduced to a fabulous "browsing" tool known as Stumble Upon. An Internet community which recommends websites based on your personal interests. Websites which you may have never "stumbled upon" on your own. As you set up your account, you are prompted to a page which allows you to check off all that interests you. Interests such as, news, politics, art, science, food, fashion, travel and on and on. Then, when you hit the stumble upon icon on your toolbar, a virtual generator produces a random URL linked to your own emotion of personal interest. It really is genius and highly entertaining. I would imagine that if I had a boring nine to five desk job, this form of channel surfing would save my sanity. Thank god that is not the case for me! However, if you fit this category, I strongly suggest you give this recommendation engine a try. When bored, simply hit the Stumble Upon icon and viola! You can pass the whole day very quickly learning both useful and ridiculously useless information. Inspiring, non the less.
