Are you having a hard time finding a college that you want to go to? Well I just came across a website called Unigo that will help you find the college you may want to go to quick and easily! So stop all of those hard searches for a college you might want to go to! Head over to Unigo and read reviews of colleges written by students.

A lot of colleges send out pamphlets and letters about their schools pointing out the ‘cool, and interesting’ parts of their school. Well with Unigo, college students write reviews so you are actually hearing about the things students like and not what the colleges think you will like. You can find information about safety, students, teachers, cultures, and more all ranked by students!

Go ahead and check out Unigo today!

This week’s website is for all of you grumpy people that need to get all of your grumpiness out! It’s motto is “Where the internet comes to complain,” which is very fitting!

Grumper uses a Digg-like system where you are able to ‘grump it,’ instead of ‘digging it.’ There isn’t a lot to say about this website other than it’s really fun to complain to the world! Check them out online at Grumper.org!

I’m one of those people that requires some type of sound playing to get me to sleep or to get things accomplished. While doing homework I’ve discovered listening to music is not the best idea because I get too into it and it becomes distracting, and at night I used to have to have the tv running with a sleep timer and a fan running for noise.

Well now thanks to SimplyNoise.com I can have white noise playing from the speakers on my computer. White noise can aid sleep, enhance privacy, block distractions, mask tinnitus, configure audio equipment, soothe migraines, and many other tasks. The best part about it is that you can listen to it forever and it never gets annoying.  SimplyNoise is my new ‘go-to’ place for white noise.  It is by far the coolest and simplest sound generator I have found on the internet. It’s not loaded with features, but it does have one VERY cool feature which is the ‘oscillate volume’ button which will turn the volume up and down making it sound as if the ocean is roaring. Start listening to free white noise now at SimplyNoise.com.

I hope you enjoy my pick of the week! Let me know if you use it in the comments!

It’s that time again! Time for a website update. Today I spent some time adding a new theme and a few new features.

As you can see the new theme is “Twitter-like.” I love the simplicity of the design, and I hope you do too!

I’ve released a few new features such as the new “Share” icons at the bottom of the posts. A new Donation page has been made to help me pay for all my website expenses. Lastly, I added another ‘Twitter-like” feature. In the comments you can now do @username to refer to the person you are speaking to!

Thanks for all of your support and enjoy the new features!

I don’t like to make blog posts about reality tv shows, but today I flipped on the news and saw a story about someone auditioning for Britain’s Got Talent. Her name was Susan Boyle. When she first came out on stage, everyone including myself were thinking wow, what a joke. But to my surprise and everyone else’s watching, she was an amazing singer. Watch the video below:

She was really happy, it was true joy. But do you know why she auditioned for the show? Here’s an interview with her: (Sorry for the low quality, it was the only version of the interview I could find. You can view a transcript of the interview here.)

Here is the news story I saw with Brian Williams, NBC Nightly News about Susan:

I had insane chills after watching her preform, and I’m not gonna lie I almost cried. We need to keep in mind that talent does not require a perfect body, or a perfect face. It’s not all about looks, age, or size. It’s about talent.

Let me know your initial response to Susan’s appearance and then her performance in the comments.

Most of my blog readers know me as an internet personality that broadcasts on online radio stations and live video streaming websites. Justin.tv has many channels of cool animals, well the other day, “daphnel” also known as “tweeter2″ in my chat told me about this really cool website called WildEarth.tv.

This is by far one of the coolest live streaming websites I have ever seen! If you thought Justin from Justin.tv was cool for broadcasting his life, check out these people broadcast in Africa! This is not just a channel that has an animal on camera all the time. These people actually get on a 4-wheeler type vehicle and go around Africa looking for wild animals!

Enjoy this week’s website pick, and if you see anything cool on the stream, post it in the comments!
