Stumblin around on the net

Sometimes I find myself sitting on the at the computer not really having anything to do or with a particular destination in mind. What's one to do? Stumble of course!

Stumble is a really cool extension for Firefox (and if you aren't using Firefox that's another story!) that allows you to participate in a community of user recommended sites based upon interests.

I like to equate it to channel surfing for the internet. You can be directed to sites of any category that users recommend or restrict your Stumbling to specific categories of interest to you. More than once I've forwarded links to friends and family and been asked where I find the stuff I do. Usually I respond 'in my stumbles around the net'.

If you are looking for a fun way to break up some, why not give Stumble a shot.

Cool Features Coming Soon

After another long hiatus I'm back to write some more. I find its hard to find the time to blog, but its not so much time that stops me from writing more, but topics. So my approach for my next few posts will be just to have short but frequent posts featuring cool sites, apps, and gadgets around the web.

I spend most of my day immersed in the web and its related technologies and take for granted that most people in my circles get that same exposure. The more I think about the questions I get daily from family, friends and clients the more I realize this isn't the case.

So forward and onward on my new journey of discovering more of the nets cool features and what will make life online more interesting and hopefully more fun. Look for my first update along these lines in the next couple days.
