I would like to first start off by apologizing for not having blogged in a long time. I'm not going to lie, things have been pretty busy here at college this semester. I only have a few weeks of school left, and there will be a lot going on between now and then. At any rate, I again must thank my roommate for the subject matter this particular blog. This afternoon, I was on my computer talking with my cousins when my roommate asked if I had heard of a website called "stumbleupon.com" Apparently it has been up for a while, but I had never heard of it. After a couple minutes of persuasion, I looked up this website out of pure curiosity. Now, I can honestly say that this website was added to my list of "distractions." As with any college student, there are tons of distractions while being away from parents: alcohol, drugs, the opposite sex, television, etc. I can honestly admit that I don't fall victim to may of these, but that doesn't mean I'm not tempted. Stumbleupon.com soared to the top of my list, and I'm sure people will agree with me if they already have or will discover it. Basically, it's a website that follows your interests and shows you videos, pages, and articles about these interests. For example, the first thing you have to do is select your interests. These could be a wide variety of things, including cars, sports, fashion, books, and many more. After selecting interests, you can begin "stumbling" through different pages of your interests. By clicking the "stumble" button, you can sift through different pages involving your interests, many of which are things you've never heard of. If you like "nature," for example, pictures will pop up of oceans, volcanoes, forests, and more. It is honestly one of the coolest Internet sites I have ever seen, and I hope more people begin to discover it. Just try not to let it distract you too much.
