InterwebJunkie – Supplying your fix since 1990. My name is Calvin Harrison and at one point I was like the people in the video. We’ll, maybe not that bad, but it was pretty embarrassing. When I moved to the Northeast to attend university, I got exposed to...
xkcd: Money Chart
posted by harrison
The main focus of this post is “Money Chart” and, considering that it’s Black Friday Eve (aka Thanksgiving), there is no more appropriate time for a breakdown of the global economy. But first, a quick summation of the xkcd.com: xkcd is probably the nerdiest, most...

Let’s hop on our high horse and judge some people, y’all. The world has no shortage of venues for us to get your elitist snobbery on. It’s only natural that our need look down our noses and judge our fellow man would find its way online. Worry not. This...

Narratives in Emoji. Quick, easy site. The premise is simple, but ingenious. The Huffington Post does a pretty good job of summing up the site: Emojicons are like emoticons, only more detailed, and available through an app for your phone. This blog takes stories...
imgur v. funnyjunk
posted by harrison
I know that the rivalry between Funnyjunk and Imgur (pronounced “imager”) may not be the most obvious one, but following a more high profile one would have meant scouring to 4chan or worse /b/, and I don’t this i’m ready mentally… or emotionally for that kind of...
GeekSugar

If the name didn’t clue you in the massive amounts of pink should let you know that this one is for the ladies. Is there a place for women in the male dominated geeking world? If GeekSugar is any indication, then the answer is yes. The website is oriented towards a demographic that...

StumbleUpon
posted by harrison
Even though I have limited the sites that I feature to relatively unknown ones, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the StumbleUpon. It’s played a huge role in filling my bookmark tab. StumbleUpon plays a huge role in “leveling the playing feild,” exposing users...

I suppose that before I start this post, I should make known that dibs have already been called on the Gameboy iPhone case and Magic Wand Remote Control. Also, although I’ll never have the money for it, I’m calling dibs on the the water powered jetpack for good...

The moment I knew Discrasian.com had their newest life-long subscriber Admittedly, not being Asian myself, I doubted the appeal the website would have for me, but the beauty of the site is that you don’t have to be Asian to appreciate it. ...
Movie Madness
posted by harrison
This is one of the shadier sites that I’m going to feature. Movie-Madness, otherwise known as movie hopping, is one of those questionable practices that everyone is guilty of trying just once. I know that as a teenager growing up in a town without many entertainment options,...

In class we discussed whether DJs who sampled music could truly be considered artists. The point that sampling was a lazy alternative to true artistry was brought up on more than one occasion. But I would have to argue the opposite. It takes real talent to mashup multiple songs and make...

UKIGUMO Most of things submitted on thebest404pageever are mediocre at best, but this one rises above the rest. Words cannot explain the awesomeness embedded in the above link. Though I hate the term, Uki is nothing short of “epic.” Click the link, select the...
FoodPornDaily

Contrary to what its name suggests, FoodPornDaily is not some depraved, fetishistic website for food “enthusiasts.” No, you shouldn’t worry about viewing this one in the solitude of an empty house with every door locked and every shade drawn while constantly...
PhysicsGames

It has “physics” in the name, so it’s educational…? Maybe not so much. You’re gonna have to work on the educational merits of this site on your own. Still, it’s a fun way to liven up a particularly boring lecture. There are hundreds of games...
