Okay, this has been a long time in the making and I’ve finally put it all together; My favorite things online. Yeah, not all the descriptions are that great but you’ll just have to click and find out just how great this stuff is for yourself. If you’re already a fan of these places, you’ve got great taste. If you find something you like, enjoy it. None of the images are mine and are from their respective site. Click, view, and enjoy.
Online Comics/Funny Stuff
NatalieDee
I came across this site randomly on google search for something… I can’t even tell you what it was but ever since that fateful day in high school I’ve been a devoted reader of these comics.
Buttersafe
A comic I found via Stumbleupon. Funny and occasionally thought provoking.

xkcd
Many of you have probably already come across this site. It’s pretty popular. If you haven’t, you’re welcome.
DearBlankPleaseBlank
Another stumbleupon find. Very funny.
HyperBole And A Half
I find this site HYSTERICAL. Illustrated stories that are outrageously funny. They’re random and strange, which sometimes all a funny story can manage to be. But for some reason, these are random and strange AND terribly funny.
The Oatmeal
Another popular site and for good reason. They educate ( how to use a semicolon), test you (how many Justin Biebers could you take in a fight?), and amuse you (why I believe printers were sent from hell to make us miserable: MUST READ) all while providing you with amusement and curing your boredom.
Inspiration/Pretty Things
Saying Images
Devoted readers of my blog know how much I love this site; its my primary go-to for pretty photos to illustrate my thoughts.
Goodmorning and Goodnight
Similar to Saying Images but it goes beyond photos; music, quotes, videos and just interesting tid bits.
Creative Resume Designs
First of, ALL of these are amazingly creative and brilliant in their own ways. Some are just a little too much to actually submit to a potential employer. Don’t just look at them, READ THEM. See how they describe themselves and their skills, other than ‘I am a great waiter because I care about the customer.’ Repeat after me: “I will read as well as look at these. And afterwards I will look at my own resume with shame and henceforth feel inspired to make it just as brilliant.” Carry on.
Amazing Wine Labels
Who says wine labels have to be dry and boring? If you have an amazing 750mL of fermented grape juice, why not make the bottle just as amazing looking?
The CSS Awards
Hands down the most amazing websites available created using CSS. Simply stunning. Each website is graded on it’s design, creativity, usability, and content. If you have some time to kill, look through these sites.
Informative/Useful Stuff
Infographic-How Color Affects Purchases
See? Surfing the internet does help me with my homework! Seriously, this nice little info graphic explains everything much better than my dry textbook
Pictaculous
A color palette generator; fun to play with and useful!
80 Extreme Ads
I don’t think I’ve seen any of these in print but they’re all really interesting and really grab your attention. Many are from outside of the USA. WARNING: they’re labeled extreme for a reason and once you see some of them, you’l understand why they haven’t been advertised in the US.
The Rules of a Gentleman
And not all apply to just men.
Photography
Mountain Photographer
A really lovely photo blog. I envy this guy; he gets to travel the world taking photos of mountains! So jealous… anyways, his photos are stunning and I’m trying to decide on a favorite to order and stick on my wall.
Tag Galaxy
Type in a tag and find photos… really neat. It amazes me what people can come up with.

1 x - the best photos on the web
They aren’t kidding. If you need some photo inspiration, look no further.
Food
The Pioneer Woman
I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!! She is living my dream. I made a few of her recipes and they’ve come out great; real crowd pleasers. Be sure to check out the rest of her site beyond her food once you’re done drooling.
Most Popular of FoodGawker.com
Still on my to-do list...
This list has changed slightly… but I find this particular collection to be really good. This is also my nod to Food Gawker itself. I. LOVE. This website. I will spend hours on it scrolling, staring, reading, and copying down recipes. Some of my best meals have come from here.
Food Porn Daily
“Click, drool, repeat”
Ming Makes Cupcakes
A pretty cupcake and a pretty easy recipe. What more do you need?
Things That Made Me Smile
Signs
A really cute little video less than 15 minutes long. Romantic story that made my day when I watched it.
Art Pad
Bored? Wanna paint but don’t have any paint, brushes, or even a canvas? Use this; it’s less messy.
Need To Want
Needs vs. Wants. We all have them.
WEG XC Helmet Cam
Horse lovers rejoice. This is the complete WEG 2010 xc as seen from Peter Atkin’s helmet as he completes the course on HJ Hampton. So much fun. Don’t forget to count your strides.
No Exscues
… not to watch this.
Deadline
Procrastination at it’s best. This was a senior project of a student at Savannah College of Art & Design. Really neat.
