This is a really good assembly of billboard ads. Safe for work-place.

OK, I could have made this URL recommendation last year. Perhaps I shouldn't now. As much as you all think you "know" me. You don't.

But alas now... you get a small glimpse inside my world.

This site has been around a few years and has grown considerably.

It's not really the site that has grown. It's the organization.

It's a great place to meet people LIKE YOU of the opposite sex, and the same sex. Great friends can and will be made here. Oh... and of course you get to excercise those muscles and work those bones.

I'm digging this! If you are ready to take your fitness to the next level, this is it. It's a varied fitness program focusing on true fitness, not stacks of equipment and body building. This will prep you properly for biathlons, triathlons etc... Tactical police operations to elderly participate. You don't just train, you learn skills.

Just don't get caught up in the hype. Use it, don't live it.

For any of you in serious relationships, and perhaps more specifically to you married folks...

This site and book something you may want to really consider exploring.

In short, make time for your husband and wife.

I can't laugh hard enough when I recommend this site. Have fun guys! Start googling girls!

Lars Recommends: thefind.com

This is the best product search engine I've used. Searching things from, "square cut trunks" to "inline skates" to "blank cds" it really rounds things up from many sources.

What is really good is that even when on a site like let's say Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, or Bergdorf Goodman, it will find products in their catalog that are not even listed withing the specific sites searches.

Check out http://www.thefind.com and test it out on some obscure product of your own liking. I'm sure this will be your google of shopping engines.

You have to try to really appreciate the power of oodle.

Search thousands of sites including Ebay in a single effort.

Best of Craig's List

Lars Hindsley — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:00:00 -0400

You know... every now and again I find myself with a minute of down time. Could be at the YMCA waiting on someone to give up a weight set where for some reason they offer Internet access in the gym room ...It could be in town waiting on a client where thankfully I can pick up someone's insecure network for surfing myself, or simply waiting in line at the bank where I'll dial up the web on my PDA. You can't do much in terms of productivity, what do you do? Read the best of Craig's list for a laugh. Take for instance this post about how to decode women's personal ads:

Ø 40-ish..................................49.
Ø Adventurous..........................Slept with everyone.
Ø Athletic................................No breasts.
Ø Average looking.....................Moooo.
Ø Beautiful..............................Pathological liar.
Ø Emotionally Secure..................On medication.
Ø Feminist...............................Fat.
Ø Free Spirit.................................Junkie.
Ø Friendship first.......................Former Slut.
Ø New-Age.........................Body hair in the wrong places.
Ø Old-fashioned........................No B.J.'s
Ø Open-minded.........................Desperate.
Ø Outgoing..............................Loud and embarrassing.
Ø Professional................. ..........Bitch.
Ø Voluptuous...........................Very fat.
Ø Large frame...........................Hugely fat.
Ø Wants soul mate.....................Stalker.

Going back to 2006 there is this gem, the Craig's List Salary Guide:

Less than $30,000 = Loser! Put down the videogames, take a shower, and move out of your mom's house.

$31,000 - $50,000 = Cool. You're alright with me man. I hear you.

$51,000 - $70,000 = You're suspect pal. You're on my list. What are you some kind of smart person who learned how to do computers or something? My girlfriend is way hotter than yours.

$71,000 - $90,000 = Must be nice to come from a rich family who paid for your eduction. Epp epp! Zip it. I don't want to hear about how clever you are. You're a xxxking tool. Fucking bitch is what you are. Goddamn daddy's girl who never had to ...

I've enjoyed this site for a couple years now. Break.com is similar to youtube.com but has edgy stuff and a lot of content unsuitable for youtube.

It sure has cleaned up its look over time with advertising and such but the content is always impressive.

Check out Break.com

You know I write movie reviews, interview artist and of course have video of the day on occasion. Here is my latest... Recommending sites you may or may not have heard of. I'd like to offer up as my first recommended link a fun site that pokes fun at my "positive energy" approach.

Today I recommend: http://www.despair.com

There is some real laugh aloud stuff at despair.com as well as some podcasts. I think the must have item is their "glass is half empty mug". When you find it and read it, you'll get how funny and worthwhile having one is. :) They should be paying me for this.
