I get easily addicted to all online games of this genre.
This game here would qualify as the simplest game I ever saw, annoyinlgy enough I just HAD TO try it for a while :p  /shoo

If you wanna try “the worlds hardest game” this is the place to go. I gave up after about two minutes :p

Go here to see the 50 of the funniest sketches, or at least they claim they are.

This is one of the cutest little things I ever saw!! awwwwwww!!
And speaking of cats, heres one of the most touching stories ever!

People in Austria make interesting choices when naming their towns. Just have a look at this.

I couldnt help but take a look at the 9 most obnoxious memes to ever excape the web.
This list has it all from the story of the hamsterdance and dancing baby –  to Chuck Norris. Lovely stuff :p

This is really not the way to act on live cam, all these are authentic. Im embarassed ^^

And the last link for this time is 15 celebrities who sang but shouldnt have Enjoy!

I have to say that with my interest in photography,I got a bit fascinated by looking at COLOR pictures from america from the 1930s.

This one I looked at for a good five minutes – weird how these tiny men on platforms just made my thoughts fly.

Are you, like me, terrified of Vista but wanna give your xp the vista look to try it out? Heres the place to go

Songs that get stuck in your head, which song as you humming when youve watched this clip?

On this website you get to see 20 images that all came up from a google search for one spesific word.
Are you smart enough to guess the words withing the time limits? I only got the first one, but its fun for a few minutes atleast

Haha. Ever heard of a digital toy before? This was surprisingly addictive I have to say. Those guys can be thrown around in the picture, adding various new elements. Cant believe I just spent ten minutes on that. Welcome to try out my new favorite digital toy :p

Theres so much different art out there, some of them extremely fascinating things – others just making you go ?????
I especially got fascinated by all the amazing art made by forks on this page.

“Be a part of history and make a cool drawing” @ The Doodle History o_O

Today I came across Youtomb, where removed youtube videos go. You can wathc screenshots and see short discriptions of removed videos. Completely useless for me, I dont even understand why its there and why i visited it. But yes, enjoy

Robots can do alot these days apparently. How about this violin playing robot thats 152cm tall. Orrr can i tempt you with a robotic chair thats able to break and repair itself (no idea what to use it for:P). This Neil Armstrong lookalike is able to do several things like walk stairs and kick a ball. Not sure if this guy scares or fascinates me.

Lets look at some rather useless and strange facts:
St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was not Irish
The two highest IQ’s ever recorded (on a standard test) both belong to women
Urine was once used to wash clothes
A parthenophobic has a fear of virgins
It was quite common for the men of Ancient Greece to exercise in public .. naked.
Eau de Cologne was originally marketed as a way of protecting yourself against the plague
It is illegal to be a prostitute in Siena, Italy, if your name is Mary
The magic word “Abracadabra” was originally intended for the specific purpose of curing hay fever
In Ancient Peru, when a woman found an ‘ugly’ potato, it was the custom for her to push it into the face of the nearest man
A South African monkey was once awarded a medal and promoted to the rank of corporal during World War I

Alright so. Im ready to start this finally.

Some of these things u may have seen before, and others not. If u want a laugh, look at something thats just plain weird or different, hopefully this’ll be something for u.

Is there a director in you? Here you can make your own movie.
It wont exactly be the next LoTR movie, but it can be a very amusing way to make an hour pass
Some of the backgrounds and characters you can make can be quite amusing, its more like a cartoon. But I can see this working for making small sketches, holiday greetings or just for kids to play with. It kept me busy for a good 25 minutes and Ill go back there at some point.

There are many ways to reveal playbacks/singbacks. This is one of the more embarassing Ive seen.

The discussion regarding whats the worst Idol-audition ever will go on forever and ever. I will most likely post a few here from time to time.
Here is todays candidate for worst Idol audition in the history.

Why dont we look at the 35 most unique and creative sofa designs out there.
I personally really like the pixel sofa tbh. I find the “carpet” sofa and the tiger sofa horrible, the cow one would be funny for a childrens room.
The sitscape looks pretty cool aswell, except the fact that it looks like its made from cardboard. If it had a more “massive”look id love that one.
The yang sofa is pretty cool, I like the idea, but id not go for a red one though. The flexform Otre sofa is surely my favourite. I love the integrated shelfs in it and i could actually have one of those in my livingroom. The Aston Martin couch would get a spot in my bar if i ever made one in the tv-room downstairs. There are many funky sofas there, but not many that i actually feel i could use in a normal house. But was fun to watch indeed

This one is apparantly and “oldie”, but I havent seen it before.
Take a look at the luckiest ppl in the world. This left me gasping my jaws off :p

And finally, who said homeless ppl cant have sense of humor. Here are some signs to prove it.

So there are billions of blogs out there now, and even more readers.

There are ppl making millions from their blogs and there are others on the other side of the scale who are only blogging for own purposes.

Me being Norwegian I also know that there are hundreds of thousands blogs only in little norwat with a tiny population of 4,5 million in total. So God knows how many blogs that are out there and how many that can be defined as success or failure.

I guess that it is the blogger him-/herself who defines what success of the blog will be.

Blogs are possibilities. Endless possibilities! U can write about absolutely anything u feel like. It doesn’t matter if someone has written about it from before, no matter what ur hobby or passion is u can go out there and write about it as long as u don’t steal copyrighted material on ur way there and use normal common sense. This means that anyone with something at all to say, a computer/pda and an internet connection can just go out there and tell the world whats on their mind. What a power it can give u!

Look at perez Hilton for example. Starting his blog as a pure hobby blogging about celebrity gossip, today he makes a fortune, has over 9 million hits daily (!) and his blog is said to have a huge impact on the carreers of celebrities of different kinds.

The trend is that more and more “normal” people seek blogs for advice in different situations. Political actors like presidents or bigger campaigns have own bloggers, such as various bigger companies.

But I do have the odds against me. Not only have I started blogging several times, but it has been too personal even tho ive had quite a few readers at times. The biggest factor against me tho, is the fact that im really having a hard time writing enough about one specific topic.

Ppl mostly tend to revisit blogs that are on specific topics, where ive almost lost already as I have so much I intensely burn for writing about.

BUT! Yay me, I have a solution actually. I am going to write a number of blogs! *proud*

This blog u read this very second will be the main blog for now.

Meaning I will here update when I learn and experience new things from the worldwide web.

Im gonna dedicate a fair amount of time on a daily basis to blog here about awesome websites I encounter, both “normal” sites and blogs.

If I see new trends or have any thoughts around the subject I will post them but this blog will mainly be a place to visit to find new sites to visit for all kinds of interests.

I am a person with many passions so I honestly believe that this kind of blog can be something people will like to read from time to time.

I will also write a few more blogs, but im gonna tell more about then in my next post.

Back to this main blog then. I once read something similar to how I think thisll be in a Norwegian computer magazine and I absolutely loved the concept. Ive also read it on various newspapers from time to time and there HAS TO BE a blog or a thousand like this out there, but I never found them. Im not even sure if I looked hard enough, maybe thatll be a post in this blog in the future *note to self*

Then, what is success for me and my blog?

I honestly hope that in the future I can call this blog my hobby that I can have as a specific daily task and at the same time see ppl read it and experience new things from reading it.

I wouldn’t say no to earning money from advertising on it but this will not be how I measure if its successful or not. If I manage to write in this blog daily or atleast every 2 days for a period of more than a month and keep myself busy with it an hour or two daily – then I will say I have reached my goal. Anything more than that will be a pure bonus to me.

So, where to start, eh?

Im not gonna give a complete background story about myself.

I simply make this blog because I got loads of stuff I wanna tell about.

Thisll be a very random blog, and I have no idea what so ever if anyones gonna read this at all

I don’t do this for everyone else, I do it for myself.

Writing this first blog in word actually. And being a multitasking woman im installing wordpress at the same time.

Ive had a few more or less successful blogging attempts the last year.

They’ve mostly been about personal stuff and having a life where I don’t really know how things will be from one day to the next it has had a tendency of just dying after a while.

Having to occupy myself with stuff to get through days filled with being sick ive decided to not only make one blog but actually make a few of them.

I have too many random things and thoughts in my head to keep it to just one blog, itd just be waaay too random for anyone, myself included, to have any chance to follow where I was going, – if anywhere.

Right now im not exactly sure where to start and which blogs to make or not.

Funny enough I got inspired to start blogging again by….(hold on to ur seats) Martha Stewart! (lol)

So ive always been into like those shows how teach u how to cook all these delicious dishes, helps u to find exciting new ways to decorate ur house and such. I was really excited when we got our new satellite dish like 3 years ago and I found out her show was on several channels.

After a period of wathing her shows a lot I sorta felt that she was maybe more aiming towards viewers like 40+ American housewives so I just slowly started watching other things instead.

BUT recently I got a new tuner with a harddrive to record programs etc so now I have this more or less weekly routine where I watch the tvprograms and schedule recordings of different shows.

After a while of being sick and coming home again today and being able to actually stay a few hours I started by watching some of the shows I had recorded. I usually don’t record Martha Stewart but a while back I for some reason decided to record an episode again to just for fun see how it was.

And that is the story behing this “new beginning” for my blogging.

For once, the one and only Martha Stewart wasn’t knitting or cooking, she dedicated a whole show to blogging! With guests ranging from the worlds no1 blogger Perez Hilton, to less known bloggers covering themes from celebrity gossip to gardening, wedding tips, cooking and more she actually managed to keep my attention for almost an hour.

This is the reason why im back blogging!

- more to come!
