Things I Do to Amuse Myself After Emily Hughes is Done Skating

I'm adding a new category to this site. I am a trivia hound, and I always have been. When Lauren and I started living together and she had to start listening to me talk nonstop all day, every day, she discovered that I'm full of trivia about ballet, construction materials, not-entirely-obscure sports, and a billion other things. When you add to this that I spend a lot of time clicking goofy links on the web from the many, many sites I read daily, you have an insane collection of links.

Now, I don't intend to share with you all of my 2268 unique bookmarks (organized into 16 folders with 104 subfolders) -- no joke -- but I thought it might be fun to start sharing some of the new things I stumble upon. In fact, I plan on sharing mainly things that I don't bookmark.

Is this entry starting to sound a lot like a previous entry about my collecting weird things that other people don't collect?

Anyway, this isn't going to become a true blog, in the original sense of the word, because I just don't feel like posting links on a daily basis. But when I do find worthwhile stuff, I think I'd like to share it here. You know, for no reason at all. So here are some recent items that I've found noteworthy (minus the places I originally found them, because I haven't kept track):

  • The 100 most frequently challenged books of the 20th century
  • Domino's founder builds Catholic city in Florida
  • woot.com, one deal per day, updated daily at 1 a.m. eastern
  • Arrange-a-room, a free floorplan designer online
  • blingo, a google search where you can win free stuff just for searching (use that link if you sign up so that I'm listed as your friend and get more free stuff!)
  • And although this is an old article, I enjoy it enough that I'm going to share it now. In Your Facebook.com, which could really be generalized to talk about an entire generation's use of the web.

    That's it for now. I'd hate to overwhelm y'all on my first entry in this new venture.
