Andrew Wolford -- Stumble

Well the first site that I found that was blog worthy was a place called grooveshark. Fromm the looks of it and the short time I spent playing with the site, since it is almost 2am when I'm doing this, the site seems to be along the lines of an internet radio website. I dont even need to say why I'd suggest this, I mean come on, free internet radio.
Grooveshark

My second blog worthy site is a link from funnyjunk.com (thanks to the stumble toolbar). I just found this image too good to pass up, so heres this weeks image. Some one working at this store had way too much time on their hands, but it was time well wasted. I really cant recommend this page since I posted most of its contents above but it was good for a laugh.
Display Win!!

The third page I found Is a image that wont be understood unless you happen to watch Futureama. It is an image that Is spun off the idea of Obama's red and blue change posters, but instead of Obama: The Hypnotoad.No need to say any more.

Jones Stumble fun sites

The first website that i found interesting was http://www.aim.com/acronyms.adp. It is a web site that lists a lot of acronyms for AIM instant messaging that people use. I thought it was interesting to see how many out of the ones listed that I personally use, which was not as many as I was expecting. I reccomend this website to anyone who does not understand this kind of lingo, if they recieve a message in acronyms or interested in the acronyms people have made up. The source is sited as AOL and AIM, and says that multiple places on the page, however the year is not on the site. Who comes up with all these acronyms?

The second website I found was calledhttp://www.thecolor.com/Coloring/Snorkeling.aspx. It is a coloring website for younger children that allows them to choose different pictures and color online by selecting a color from a variety on the side of the page, then by clicking on the selection you wish to have that color. It is new for me and I found it interesting that fun activities for me when i was younger are now even online for easy participation. I would reccomend this for someone younger that i wanted to color that did not have the supplies, it is still fun to choose the colors for each part of the picture. The site is done by the color since 2006.

The third website I found was called http://www.ultrasonic-ringtones.com/. This website displays about fifteen different sound clips of ultrasonic short ringtone that you can test your hearing with. I made it to level D untill i could no longer hear the last three sounds. I think it was fun to see what level I could hear to, it is a fun way to waste time and test your hearing ability with your friends. The sources are not sited that well, so I wonder if all the information the site offers is true?

Lauren Blake Proffitt- StumbleUpon- painting an eye

I am an amateur painter and one area I find myself lacking in artistically is painting humans. I also have a deep love for eyes and the stories they tell. This website is extremely interesting to me because I would love to know how to paint anything better and this showes me one of my favorite things. I suggest this site to anyone in my situation of artistry. The site is not cited at all but I do not believe this is a call for one. My question is; is there a certain type of paint that was used in this tutorial or will any type work?

I found this article interesting cause it was amazing how some animals are so stupid and it was also very humorous! I recommend this to my fellow classmates cause this article is very funny and just plain stupid. There are no sources sited on this page so i guessed they did a bad job cause no one gets credit for this article. My question for this article is how long did it take for the squirrel to finally go for the nut?

This article was interesting to me cause everything on this page was quite extraordinary and very beautiful as well as to ounce in a life time view. I recommend this to everyone cause everything on this page was really cool and not time wasting. This article was also not cited at all but i honestly don't care if it was cited so i am saying for this one this article was cited really well just cause i like it that much. I was wondering how close was the person taking these pictures was from dying?

This article was really cool cause it showed you how to change regular photos into really cool and unrealistic photos with a program that is very simple. I recommend this most people cause it is something fun to do when your bored and it also helps you kinda open up your imagination. This article was cited finally so this was by far the best cited article i have ever seen for today. the question for this article was how much does the program cost to have it?

When I stumbled upon this I was blow away. Everyone knows what photoshop is and what it can do to pictures. I never knew it could do changes as drastic as this though! It amazed me how real it looked and how editorial it looked. I've always wished I was able to create photos like this myself. But I've never had the time to learn. I think that if a classmate was into photoshop and photography in general then I would recommend this stumble to them. It could be a good learning stumble for them to see what effects they may be able to use on some of their pictures. I also think this stumble would be good for any classmate just wanting to try photoshop for themselves. The stumble is cited a little. It is mostly just the one author of the stumble and he is the only citation really. My question would be :How long did it take you to master photoshop effects?. The only research I would do would be to get photoshop for myself and try it out and find some tutorials online an try to learn how to do it for myself.

I love to read. I know most people hate it but I love it. It's what I do in my spare time or on a rainy day. This stumble was really interesting to me because the only bookstores I've ever been to have been Barnes & Nobles or Books a Million. I have never seen any bookstores like this. Nor have I ever been in one. I actually didn't know these book stores existed. This website would be good for a classmate who also enjoys to read and wants to see how different bookstores in different countries and states are built and designed. This also would be good just for any classmate who wants to see how different buildings are created and established. This stumble is cited very well. Under every picture there is the name of the bookstore and where it is established. My question would be : How did you come up with this particular design for your bookstore? I think further research would have to be to look up more about these stores online or to go and visit some of these bookstores. Geez going to Paris for research is a bummer. :)

This was the most intersting stumble of them all. I only knew the basics of mummification. Such as its wrapped in cloth and put into a sarcophagus and that the brain is pulled out by the nose (YUCK) . But I didn't know a lot of the other steps. Such as putting the organs in different jars for the Egyptian gods to watch over them. I also didn't know that they covered the body in resin and stuffed it full of linen to make the body look fuller. It was all very enlightening and I learned a lot of things that I didn't know before about the Egyptian process of mummification. I think any classmate would enjoy this stumble. Not only is it education and informative it is also a game. You get to actually do the mummification process yourself. It was a lot of fun actually, as weird as that sounds. This stumble would also be good for anyone doing a report of the process of mummification. I think that it would help them a lot in their report. I couldn't find any citations on the stumble but I do believe whoever created this stumble was very well informed and knew what they were talking about. My question would be: How long did the process of mummification take? I think further research would be that I would have to do my own investigation on the mummification process .
