Blogadilla: Now at Threat Level Orange

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Blogadilla is now officially at Threat Level Orange.

Last weekish, Nick Chordas of the Columbus Dispatch deemed us a “Website of Mass Distraction” (WMD). In particular, our stellar Swedish Furniture Name Generator.

Newsweek.com also briefly recognized our new WMD status: archive link.

Thanks Nick!
It’s good to hear that our primary objective is working.
We will continue to do our best to prevent you from getting your work done.

Werd!

And Then Worktime Productivity Dropped Even Lower…

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

These days, with the proliferation of the internets, libraries and all things bookish have had to get creative to keep readers interested, let alone attract new readers.  Enter the New Zealand Book Council.  In what can easily be described as, “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” logic, the NZBC has created www.readatwork.com

It’s a website that displays a windows desktop, except all the folders are filled with literature in PowerPoint format.  You can literally read Animal Farm on PowerPoint slides.  Now you can stick it to your boss and actually claim to be productive at the same time!

Mark Twain anyone?

Summer Wallpaper

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Technically we still have several weeks to go . . . but if the temperatures are already at 90º, then Summer is here.

Time for a wallpaper change. Going with a Summer theme.

Here’s a nice “Fresh Grass” front lawn wallpaper (by SoftBend) and “June” field of grass wallpaper (by Frank De Graeve) from Pixelgirl Presents.

Now I need to find dog poop icons.
