StumbleUpon has become a monstrous success as one of the more unique social bookmarking type sites on the net. Unfortunately it’s also becoming a growing source of irritation. Lately I have received a growing number of stumbles sent to me by people I’ve never heard of and who are not in my friends list.

But that, my friends is the blessing, the curse that was avoided is something that online oldtimers will remember from years back. It was in the form of an email that made the rounds several times. It also got posted on countless newsgroups and forums. The content was something that made car buyers shiver and think “God I hope that isn’t gonna happen”.

Now I am not a hamster, I’m fully aware that at [...]

This is another gem that I got from a stumble. It’s from one of those things that appeared in a 1950 issue of Popular Mechanics and was attempting to describe what life would be like in 2000.
