Found some new websites, you avid and devoted thacant readers. Check ‘em out!

The first is Bros Like This Site, dot com – great writing and great hating on the lamest demographic around college campuses. Posts include hating hipsters, making girls cry, and banging places that are not a bed, because “you’re a fucking bro – nothing gets in the way of your late night pounding session. Time to improvise.”

The Big Picture - this site features some of the greatest photojournalism on the web, from one of the greatest states in the U.S.

Finally, Craigslist Couples is a truly hilarious site. Kinda reminds me of hotornot.com, but more of a pop culture phenomenon – go here to check out “odd, mismatched and downright horrifying couples.”

For all you internet aficianados, I have a quest for you – while socializing at the bar the other night, a friend of mine told me of a lolcats spinoff – essentially, in a picture taken at a party, solo cups, beer cans and other receptacles are replaced with photoshopped images of – you guessed it – cats. The URL is something along the lines of brewcats.com… if you find it, please comment, it sounds hilarious.

I love the Internet. Music, porn, humor, even knowledge. It’s all out there. I’ll spare you the music and porn, but do yourselves a favor and check these out.

awkwardfamilyphotos.com – exactly what you’d expect, a whole huge collection of them.

highdeas.com – ever get high and have a good idea? want to share it with the world? here, you can. Caution, as you might expect, many of the posts end with something along the lines of, “Think about it….that would be awesome!!”

kindacarsick.com – just stumbled across this one today, but it doesn’t suck!

I think fukung.net should go without saying, but it is by far the best website on the internet. And what is bing.com all about anyways. I have yet to check it out but I expect a manifestation of pretentiousness.

I just got my last warning that my IC Login Password will expire. I’m sick of changing my password every 80 days. Nowadays, I don’t even use WebMail. I just have all my e-mails forwarded to my Gmail account. Since sophomore year I’ve been at 98% capacity for my inbox. Now, with Gmail’s 7377MB of storage, I’m at about 2% capacity. If you haven’t switched to Gmail yet, do it now. Go ahead.

Ok, now you’re back. But using Gmail isn’t the end-all be-all of this IC Password conundrum. I still have to remember it to get on to Blackboard.

Back when I only had one password to remember – AOL 4.0 – I wrote it down on a post-it-note and posted it on the back of the huge computer. Then I got AIM, Facebook, all this shit. More passwords to remember. Still, not a big deal. Added them to the list on the post it note.

But now – damn, I’ve got too many passwords to keep track of. And it’s all because of Webmail.

Let’s say, for example, my password is Nesquik. (It’s not, I’m just drinking a Nesquik right now.) I’m sure everyone’s password has been some nuance of Nesquik! or Nesquik1. %Nesquik, and now, 1Nesquik%.

It’s for this reason that I don’t have my browser “remember” my password. If it remembers, I forget! Moral of the story – screw ITS, and drink more Nesquik!

Order from home
