For everything you don't know you want to see... there is StumbleUpon. Now I know this seems a bit backwards to start off with. I said I would be posting about things that help to give you free time, not something that eats it up like a hungry mountain lion. As fun and time eating as stumbling is, it's also a great tool for looking for what you don't know what you are looking for.
Google and other search engines are designed to take a word, group of words, or phrase and spit out results based on what you told it to look for. StumbleUpon works in a slightly different manner. It takes your interests, throws them into a hat, and randomly finds a web page in it's giant bag of tricks for you. Looking for some new cooking recipes, but don't have anything in mind? Maybe you can stumble upon something new and tasty! What a new joke to share with the guys, but everything else you are searching for has already been said and done. After all, how does one go about searching for a new joke... search "new joke?" I think not, but with StumbleUpon you can come across tons of humorous content without having to input something very specific.
Go on, give it a try, find everything you didn't know you wanted to find!
(warning: stumbling can be very addicting, there is just so much you don't realize you want to see!)
