2 Minute Breaks

     I installed Stumble Upon's toolbar for Firefox on both my home and work laptop this week. I love it! It's nice to take a 2 minute break now and again to put your head in another space and see the cool things that people are up to.  
     There are also the not-so-cool things that people do, but those sites are on at least one person's cool list, so even if I "thumb it down" I know someone else out there will "thumb it up." Don't take this thumbing lingo out of context. It is simply Stumble Upon's user rating system. When you make a Stumble Upon account, you click check boxes of categories that you are interested in like photography, philosophy, dance, yoga etc...When you click the SU icon on your toolbar Stumble Upon takes you to a site that other people "thumbed up" who had similar interests as you.  If you like a site, you give it a thumbs up; if you don't like it, you give it a thumbs down.

Here are a few things I Stumbled Upon this week:

(waaaay better than any of those chain emails you get with similar titles)


Amazing Ukrainian artist!


This reminds me that being at peace, mentally, physically, and emotionally contributes to a restful nights' sleep:
