Oh! Gravity

Procrastination Fodder v2.0

30 January 2006

In one of my previous posts, I decided to share with the world my cure for January Work Syndrome*. To my horror, I recently discovered that I had omitted key pieces of the procrastination puzzle. As they say in Braveheart "That is something we shall have to remedy".
So, here is the remedy...


1. Strongbad

Yes, it sounds suspiciously like the beer Strongbow. But it's not a beer, it's an animated creation designed for maximum humour while you're trying to pass the time. May favourite is dragon, but there are many others for your comedic pleasure. A warning, though, the animations have a soundtrack, so you might want to be careful if @ work =)


2. Digital Blasphemy Dot Com

This site is a repository of very nice graphics and themes for your desktop or mobile device. It was previously entirely free but now there is a paid, members section and the free gallery is quite limited. There are still some very nice wallpapers in the free gallery though.



3. Dark Horizons Dot Com

Dark Horizons was started by a cinema enthusiast in Sydney. He spent his days gathering movie news, pictures and previews - the site would have information on movies before they had even begun production, and would follow them through to release. His following grew over several years until, eventually, the site was so popular that the major movie studios decided to help fund the venture. The site has maintained it's independence, yet the funding has seen an expansion into the TV and DVD realms, along with a much larger capacity for video multimedia. Definitely worth a look!!



Until next time, stay classy,
Martyman


*January Work Syndrome is a sad state of affairs whereby one must travel to said work location (often a long journey) to arrive at 9am, only to be greeted by a full 8+ hour day, with around 3 hours of work available to do. Thus, the internet becomes a keen ally and close friend during such heart-wrenching times. Please note that Martyn's Musings actually has plenty of work to do right now...*sheepish grin*
