I spend most, if not all, of my lunch breaks surfing the web – gosh that sounds so old fashion – “Surfing the web”. Anyway, there are some days where you have so many things to look up or read or watch, like Natalie Tran on youtube. If you haven’t heard about her before, seriously you must be living underwater underneath an extra giant rock or something. Go check it out – her stuff is seriously funny!

Then there are those days where you sit there staring at google trying to think of something interesting to look up. You just want to see something fresh but you can’t exactly google the word “fresh”, well you can but you might end up buying food from Woolworths, The Fresh Food People.

To overcome my lunch break slums I’ve recently started to stumble, on StumbleUpon. This may be old news to some but to those who don’t know what StumbleUpon is, it’s this great online community where people rate web pages and tag them in categories. All you do is hit the “Stumble” button and it will display some of the top rated web pages in whatever category you choose.

Here are two of my recent finds.
Typorganism – http://www.typorganism.com/asciiomatic/
Great online app where you can convert a picture of yourself into a series of letters.

Crazy Rabbit – http://www.changar.com/archives/go.html
Something fun to play with on your lunch break. I actually spent quite a while playing with this rabbit. Simple things, simple minds.
