i have been away from the internets for a wee while.
working like a busy little bee - because i am going to motherflippin' AUSTRALIA for a month in september. qantas and their pricey fuel mean i currently have over a grand's worth of e-ticket sitting in my inbox atm. so i am squirreling my pennies away, obsessing over getting a bit fitter in time for me to go, and being amused by the prospect of maybe seeing adult men wearing shorts with knee-high socks.
i also turned 25. that can be a new blog entry all by itself, so i'll leave that for another time. quarter-life crisis much?
i say i have been away from the internet, but in my snatched spare minutes at work or home i have become completely obsessed with stumbleupon. i downloaded the firefox plugin only a couple of weeks ago and have entered the wild world of 'social bookmarking'. yes, it appears at first like one big favourites list, but OH, it's so much more than that.
for the uninformed - through rating sites you like and have discovered, tagging, recommendations of friends and other sources, you 'stumble' on pages which should be of interest to you. if it's not, give it the thumbs down. after about, say, 378 pages rated already, stumbleupon has a pretty well-rounded idea of your fondness for baking cupcakes, internet humour involving dinosaurs, slightly disturbing illustration, vintage photography, totally impractical architecture and design, and absolutely everything on passive-aggressive notes dot com.
if you, too, thought you had exhausted the joy of discovery online, add me as a friend and we can decrease our work productivity together.
