Another distraction

06.04.2011 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

I have a love/hate relationship with the Internet. On the one hand it’s a very handy tool. Can’t imagine our life before it.

On the other hand, it keeps creating new and interesting ways for me to waste inordinate amounts of time.

Like this.

This is Pinterest.com

It’s like giant bulletin board (or multiple bulletin boards) that allow you to “pin” things you find and like on the internet. Cool fashion, crafts to make, home decor items.

Or if you’re like my friend Kristen, create a board for “A Critical Discussion of James Franco and His Relative Hotness“.

You can view your friend’s boards, repin their stuff, and suddenly three hours of my life have gone by.
