I’m not sure what it is about watching other people hurt themselves, but sometimes it can be funny right? Other times you watch something that makes your stomach queasy and you have to turn away.
You’ll find both kinds of videos on the Break.com website. Some will make you bust a gut with laughter while others will make you feel like your guts are coming up with what you just watched.
The Break.com site has more than just videos though, you can also find humorous photos as well as games and other stuff, but I usually spend most of my …read more
Rollip – Bringing Your Photos to Life in Polaroids

The death of Kodak producing "real" film anymore is a big loss for the way things used to be. Sure, digital cameras are amazing and let us do stuff with photos we haven’t been able to do before as consumers. There was just something about the look of an old-school Polaroid that brought back memories.
We experienced a bit of the same thing with the death of vinyl albums. Sure CD’s were supposed to be indestructible and unscratchable, but there was still something about listening to audio with a bit of a hiss and crackle to it.
The Rollip website allows you …read more

Over a decade ago my old roommate and I would joke about the different people we would see in our local Wal-Mart in Nashville, TN. We would just mentioned the word "clientele" and we would immediately know what each other meant and start looking around for whatever we were missing.
The People of Walmart website pays homage to the sites frequently on display at everyone’s favorite retailer.
There’s just something about the folks that you frequently see in Wal-Marts around this country that set themselves apart from the customers you might find in other establishments like your local Target, Meijer or similar …read more

We’ve all had them. Those family photos that we wish we could go back in time and retake or just not show up for at all. I’ve got a family Christmas photo that catches me in an award-winning stupid grin, and also highlights my waistline as you can almost hear the button on my shirt screaming to release and pop-off.
The Awkward Family Photos website captures these photos we wish were never taken and shares them with the universe. Something scary and hilarious about it at the same time.

I found this website today after Kyle Lacy had an update of his own photo posted with a link on his Facebook profile. The DailyMugshot makes use of your webcam to take a picture of your face on a daily basis and share them with the world.
I’ve been shopping for a nice webcam for myself and sites like this just seem to give me one more reason to need one. The good news is that you can start using it immediately without a webcam though as they will accept photos from digital cameras or your cell phone.
The Daily Mug shot …read more
