By unknown

chatroulette

chatroulette.com

Omegle (www.omegle.com) was so summer 2009. The fad that allowed you to have instant messaging conversations with complete strangers has a mutant offspring: Chat Roulette. The difference? Webcam capability. It’s mostly just dudes lookin’ for boobs—sometimes with their dicks—but I’ve encountered some interesting stuff. Either way, it’s too tempting to ignore.

storage and glee

www.storageandglee.blogspot.com

This website is perfect for the organized self that is hiding deep within all of ourselves, and our messy rooms. There are a variety of creative storage methods and design ideas, often with a focus upon simplicity, which you have surely never seen before. Who knew chalkboard paint on kitchen cupboards and branches for coat racks could be so functional?

the engrish brog

engrish.com

Engrish.com is a brog that shows off some of the most unfortunate translations the non-English speaking world has to offer. Whether its horribly mangled English, translated signs that simply amount to gibberish or just friendly advertisements gone awry, this website will make you laugh. And for those of you concerned about the politically incorrect nature of engrish.com, rest assured, somewhere on the world wide web there almost certainly exists a foreign language counterpart mocking English speakers for our own mistranslations.

David Thorne sees the Internet as a playground. His pranks include an attempt to pay a chiropractor bill with the drawing of a spider, and his response to a party invitation that he was never actually invited to.  27bslashsix.com is an excellent place for anyone who wants to live vicariously through an internet prankster.
