If you’re too lazy… ok, let me Google that for you!


People are Lazy. No surprises here, right? Me, You, anybody… we all have a tendency towards lethargy, and that’s something some of us choose fighting. But come on, let’s face it: some people are just too lazy for their own good… especially out here on the Internet! How many times has somebody approached you via forums, IM, mail, (etc..) asking a question that could get answered just as easily from performing a simple Google query? But no, some people just seem to prefer that you Google stuff for them!

Here, let me Google that for you!

If you’ve ever been annoyed because someone bothered you with that kind of questions, you’ll enjoy this website I’ve just found. It’s called “Let me Google That for You“…. and in case you’re wondering that’s just what it does! Here, check this for an example of how it works! And try it yourself. I hope this helps you teach a funny and insightful lesson to lazy people out there.

What am I doing now? Tweeting, of course!


I’m usually not the kind of person to go around following trends just for the sake of “belonging”, or anything like that. Regardless, I do enjoy keeping up with the latest novelties, particularly when it’s concerned with new and fascinating internet applications /utilities. With that in mind, I’ve been toying with the more-than-popular micro-blogging tool that goes by the name of Twitter.

Simply put, this is a free service where users are invited to constantly broadcast their thoughts (tweets), by answering the perennial question “what are you doing now?” – using no more than 140 characters at a time. Well, the way I see it, Twitter is pretty like a public, internet-based SMS service.

While in essence using Twitter it’s not unlike scribbling on a public wall, the really cool thing about it is that it’s grown into a drastically popular public wall – Which is both a good and bad thing, depending how you look at it. But, rather than forcing you to read my babbling in order to ascertain the nature of the tweet, I’ve rounded up 4 videos that should be watched by novice and experienced twitter user alike:

What are you doing, now?

Kind of lame – but realistic – twitter song:

Interesting twitter song:

Regular Human vs. Chuck Norris: compared anatomy!


Unless you are a complete retard – and I know you aren’t because none of my readers are (even those that used to be), you’ll know for a fact that Chuck Norris is the baddest baddass this side of the Universe. Heck, it goes without the least remote chance of argument that Chuck Norris is even more of a badass than the Universe itself, but heck I’m not one for wasting time with redundancies.

You know… I always did recognize for a fact that Chuck Norris is a badass of superior awesomeness, but all the while, I have always wondered just how he compares with a regular human being – if such thing is even possible. Well, fortunately I’ve uncovered this illustrative chart from a special compendium of the medical sicences, and now we all can take a minute to try and grasp just what sets Chuck Norris apart from …well, pretty much everyone else.

A true SnapBomb in Blog Marketing? Time will Tell!


You know… when it comes to daily reminders of why I like being around here, I must say… I really enjoy thinking I’ve learned a lesson or two, in my days. And from all the lessons I have ever learned, I’m sure this is probably one of the most valuable:

Every coin has two sides.

Let’s take sponsorship, for an example: many people think of sponsored posts as a horrible poison that’s steadily killing the true spirit of blogging; myself, I prefer thinking about blog marketing as a powerful new tool that will help empower modern age prosumers (producers and consumers of information), and bring about a new age in online marketing and reshape the obsolete old-world patterns of publicity and consummerism. Granted, this might sound like a biased outlook:

If you’re a regular “customer” here, you might have noticed I’m an adept of sponsored posts – I’d say about 40% of these Slices have been paid by third parties. So, many people will (all too easily) come out and say “well, because that Slices guy is nothing but a snake oil salesperson… there are too many sponsored posts in that blog, and sometimes the whole thiing feels like an overgorown advert”.

To which I’d readily reply - not by a longshot, and not really… it’s all a matter of perspective, actually – while adding that’s a REALLY blunt perspective. Sometimes people live in a kind of cartoon universe where they barely look beyond the surface of things. This goes to say that just because I take a lot of sponsored posts, it doesn’t mean I’m selling out… ever! On the other hand, it DOES mean that I’m increasing the revenue generated by this blog, and thereby reinforcing my commitment and availability to producing new content and raising the quality of this website.

And if you think that’s an excuse, just take a few moments to review my special brand of buzz making techniques. As you ‘ll likely realize, I hardly ever put out shallow pleasantries concerning the products and services focused on sponsored posts. Usually, I try to go for facts and I do my research to make sure it all adds up to more than just hype. And when I’m not sure if the product I’m promoting is good, I plainly ask you people to express your personal insights and experiences on the subject matter. Transparency is second only to perspective, as far as I’m coming from.

Okay, so now I feel like I’m going in a rant here, one that is better left to my disclosure page (and it will, soon enough). This all goes to say that I’ve signed up for yet another blog advertising network and I plan to use it best I can to keep making what I always do – hopefully while improving my blogging craft and increasing my profits and getting progressively closer to becoming a full-time blogger. So, if anyone out there feels like trying out a new blog marketing avenue, you might want to check out snapbomb. It really looks like a thriving sponsored posts marketlplace, and for one I’m curious to see what’ll come about from this new partnership.

I’m not really sure how good this website is, but judging from the Alexa ranking alone (60k range), it certainly looks like a huge marketplace, thriving with diverse opportunities and interesting sponsors. In my best tradition, I’d like to invite anyone reading this to come out and share their personal experience with this company. And yes, in case you might be wondering, this IS my “welcome aboard” post for snapbomb. And that is that, my friends!

Everyone who’s ever used a computer in the workplace must at some point felt the urge to take a little breather from the work routine, and play some games or watch some videos.
