Figured it was an appropriate title for this post, since it’s somewhat of a “spur of the moment” thing.

Stumble Upon. Been using it for only a few hours, and it’s incredible. It’s a pretty simple Firefox addon (I couldn’t tell if they had made it for any other browsers during the few minutes I checked out their site.) It takes about a minute to setup, asking for a username, e-mail, and your personal tastes in sites. Nothing too hard there.

Ok, so I check off my usual half-geek categories: open source, Linux (which is quickly gaining more of my time,) atheism, gadgets, hacking, and music. That was it. Once I checked off these things, the addon told me to just hit the “Stumble” button to have fun. And, for demonstration purposes, here are the first three sites it brought me to:

www.musicovery.com - A freestyle music discovery site. Pick a genre or musical style, and listen to some songs from it.

http://www.leetupload.com/tutorials/hackingspoonfed/part1/ - One page from a site that demonstrates a basic how-to for cracking the average static WEP you’ll find in your neighborhood.

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ - Pretty much self-explanatory. Got a USB drive? Well, this tells you how to put a LiveCD of some sort on it.

Since I’ve spent the last few hours of my life scraping around the net tracking down artists I hear on Musicovery, I can quickly see this become a great time-waster while at work. Hope you guys enjoy, and I’ll try to add some fun sites I find in the related links when I can.
