Funny Websites to visit at Office Hours

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Thanks to an expanding IT-industry, millions of us are spending our full working days online. And since staring at a screen all day isn’t exactly great fun all the time, I thought I would give you hard working guys/girls an online source of fun and relaxation. I can’t stand the idea of us not taking the only liberty Internet has given us; to surf around on office hours. I know most of you limit yourself to having a quick check at Facebook, your private email while stressfully looking over your shoulder. But from now on, you’ll have one site to explore on coffee breaks and when your boss is out of office.

The first time a stumbled upon this site, I couldn’t close it. Dedicated to list the top 10 things regarding any given topic, this site always makes me laugh and de-stress. Funny Top 10 lists – at TotallyTop10.com you’ll find top 10 lists dedicated to all kinds of different topics. Their listing of best Letterman Top 10 lists is priceless.

Check it out and tell me what you think. Other suggestions on funny site’s are very welcome and perhaps by the end of the month we’ll have enough tips that I can summon them into a great top 10 list myself :-)

Web Designer Guide & New Interviewees

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

One of our teammates is undertaking a massive project. She is creating a comprehensive guide of freelance web designers and small web design companies located all over the US and the world. What’s the purpose of this guide you ask? In Eva’s words: “This guide will aide visitors in finding a web designer in their local area. Say you want to start a website and sell hats and you are based in Tennessee but you have no idea how to make a website. Well, you can look at our list of designers, find one in Tennessee and connect. Instead of searching on Google everywhere, this list already has great designers since WHS has contact with every company listed. We also geographically separated them since many people want to work with someone in their area.”

Well put Eva. If you are a freelancer or own a small company, definitely get in touch with us. You can drop a comment below. =)

And number two on the list: interviews. We started interviewing some very famous CSS blog owners, Chris Coyier, David Walsh, and a few others. An internationally famous illustrator has also agreed and two PHP developers. We are very excited to hear what they say.

With that, happy Friday and a great weekend.

Think you’re cool to be interviewed? Read on…

Friday, August 15th, 2008

We’re working on a major expansion of the site which will take place sometime in the near future. Okay, that was really specific. We cannot disclose a whole lot (clandestine operations you know ;) ) but we are hoping to interview lots of people in the web world. This just would not be hosting providers but also web designers, programmers, and website geeks.

If you know someone we should interview, post here. And maybe add why you think they are cool to be interviewed.

On that note, happy Friday to all. Be safe and find your designated driver when partying. =)
