As part of my (many) (year-long) (futile) efforts to get my blog rolling, I’ve come up with several ideas for weekly posts, all complete with hokey catchy alliterations. After much deliberation, I decided to kick off the festivities with StumbleUpon Sunday, an entire day devoted to the fascinating corners of the web that StumbleUpon leads me to.

For those sad few not familiar with StumbleUpon, it is a website and FireFox add-on that allows its users to tell it what sort of websites they want to be taken to, such as humor, Windows, drugs, Japan, and idependent films. The options are virtually limitless. Users may then hit the “Stumble!” button on their toolbar, and SU will then take them to a random website (or image) that falls under one of the categories the user in which the user is interested. You then have the option to “like” something, which saves it to your profile should you ever want to visit it again. This is super handy if you don’t feel like adding it to your browser’s bookmarks. StumbleUpon is immensely entertaining and definitely not for those who already have procrastnation problems, such as myself.

Anyway, without further ado, I present StumbleUpon Sunday!
