can't find anything interesting on the web anymore? you should try StumbleUpon. It is a pretty cool website that lets you choose what interests you, installs a small web browser toolbar and then "searches" the internet for you based on what you like. You just click the Stumble button and it will randomly pull up pages. I have found some pretty cools sites this way. Much more fun that relying on Google searches anyways.....
