Analysis of Two Good/Popular Blogs Based on My Interests



Two Great Blogs (That I’m into)

                I don’t always follow blogs, but when I do, they’re usually awesome. Self diagnosed with being “bad at the internet” I’m not the best at surfing the internet for more than like 30 seconds. Unless I’m doing research for a school paper, shopping for musical equipment or watching people failing in various ways on Youtube, I tend to only use the internet when I have a real purpose. For those occasions that I find myself bored enough to mindlessly zone out on a webpage, I prefer it to be a good one though. Occasionally I will find myself on http://www.wwtdd.com.
                This website talks about celebrity gossip and let me be very clear that I totally hate gossip! I don’t care in the least bit what celebrities are doing in their free time, who they’re dating or what they were wearing at the golden globes. I just don’t care, it’s not my business and I got way more important stuff to worry about than who Jodie Foster is getting married to. That being said, when the writer of “What Would Tyler Durden Do” talks about all of these things, I find myself strangely amused. The writer, who remains anonymous, is ridiculous to say the least. He’s rude, extremely witty and will not hesitate to offend anyone and everyone. The things he says about these celebrities and their situations make me laugh out loud constantly. Most of the time he just talks shit about celebrities, occasionally he offers real advice, but every time it’s hilarious. There’s a picture of a crowd in Nigeria gathering around a bunch of armed soldiers and the title of the piece he wrote is called “Nigeria Seems Like a Fun Place to Take the Kids”. Extremely sarcastic and often times offensive, I find myself browsing this website periodically. I bet if you were into celebrity gossip you would love this site far more than I do.
                Another blog that I highly recommend is the blog that Popular Science has. Visit their website http://www.popsci.com/blog-network. I get Popular Science in the mail and always read the magazine from front to back. Their blog has a lot of great information on the internet that they didn’t get a chance to put in print so it’s a great source to become highly enlightened in the scientific world around you. They post a lot of really awesome new inventions as well as articles about advancements in specific scientific fields. One such article talks about one of Land Rover’s new concept cars they are currently working on. This SUV is going to have an “augmented reality heads up display”. We’re talking about road conditions and your current speed being monitored directly on your windshield. Oh, is the sun too bright? Just pass a hand over the windshield to darken it! That’s some future stuff right there. One of the main reasons I love this site is that I find myself jumping from article to article like, “whoa, no way is that real!” If you find yourself wondering what the future will be like, you should hop on Popular Science’s website, it’s seriously awesome.
                Those are two websites that I frequent when I have some time to kill. You might find wwtdd.com to ridiculous for your tastes, but Popular Science’s website is definitely worth checking out. Do it, you’ll thank me later. It’s entertaining and you’ll get smarter, trust me, I’d never steer you wrong. Not on purpose at least.
