Today I feel like I simply gotta come clean with you, dear readers – and It’s just about time I do. You see, I’m a major online shopping junkie. Well, but that’s not such a terrible thing, right? Truth of the matter is that over time I’ve become progressively enticed with the prospect of snooping around for great deals on the Internet. At first, I was the kind of person who shopped mostly for electronics… you know, buy printers online, buy computers online… that kind of thing. Recently though, I realized that it pays off to buy just about anything online, provided you know where to look.

With that in mind, maybe you’ll want to check out this website I’ve just found. It’s called ShopWiki, and like the name suggests, it’s pretty much like an encyclopedia for shopping. It works like a search engine that finds stores all over the Internet, so when you search for something you don’t just see advertisements like in most traditional shopping sites. Diversity is the key here, and it really pays off! Just try searching for anything you can think of and you’ll be blown away with the results. Just be cautious, tough: this website may get you seriously hooked into online shopping… although there’s nothing wrong with that, right?

Well, some of the regular customers might have noticed the recent lack of updates, but I want to reassure all of you believers that I’ve been around lurking most of the time, and weeding out the site’s archive. Now that I’ve reached my first 1000 posts, I want to take some time to breathe and take notice of the good and bad things I’ve done in this past 18 months of operation, as well as the editorial choices for the future.

resistance is futile??

That argument shall be resumed in a further posting. Now for today’s daily reminder why we like it here. Today, I’m talking about yet another one those neighborhood friendly Internet memes, of course! Such things you might have heard of but sometimes you really can’t put your finger to it? Maybe you’ve heard about the Rickroll or the OM NOM NOM and will it blend? – tell you what, I’ll just pop an illustrative example from the awesome XKCD online cartoon:

all about memes?

Now, I don’t mean to suggest that you should waste your romantic life on the pursuit of Internet memes (much the other way around), but still I enjoy keeping up with some of the latest Internet crazes – if nothing else, just for curiosity’s sake. So today we’re discussing the “All your base are belong to us“. If you want detailed information on this meme’s background, check the Wiki article I just linked; but simply put everything started with this cinematic passage from a popular Genesis game in the 1990’s:

To cut a long story short, it was around 2002 when someone decided to bring up this picturesque typo from a video game back-in-the-day, and soon enough the whole of the Internet was singing in harmony to the prophetic engrish saying… and now “all your base are belong to us”! Just like that.

Know your memes: All your base are belong to us.

Techno Remix all your base (and pictures) are belong… to us.

So you enjoy doodling around and playing silly and funny games online? You’re a huge dictionary fan and you’re always looking forward to the next chance to get some people together for a game session? Well, today I’m about to introduce you to the next best thing – a game called iSketch which plays pretty much like an online version of the classic party game Pictionary. If you’re familiar with this game of words and drawings, then you know the drill… each player takes turns trying to convey a particular word to the other players using nothing but doodles. It’s as much simple as addictive, so quit just standing there and head out towards the iSketch homepage and have some fun. It’s free and requires no installations, so enjoy yourself.

this is NOT a sponsored post… i don’t know where you guys get that idea from..
