No porn here!

Amanda told me that she was going to write a post all about her breasts and post high-resolution photos of each of them for everyone else to enjoy while I was gone. I forgive her, even though she is a liar, because I think I’m going to buy several of the items she discusses below.

Hi everyone, I’m Amanda. I figured since most of you are used to seeing dolphin porn, snake porn, paint porn… well, let’s just say porn, here, I’d introduce you to a few other things the internet can be used for.

1. Finding funny, geeky new products. For example, the Dream Captcha (for spam-free sleep). This takes a dream catcher and updates it with Captcha letters, so that pesky spam won’t infiltrate your dreams.

2. Finding new and awesome geeky food-related inventions. For example, the keyboard waffle iron. This waffle iron makes waffles in the shape of a keyboard (obviously.) If you just can’t get enough of your computer, this is the breakfast food for you.

Speaking of breakfast food, here’s in single most exciting thing I’ve seen in quite a while. It’s the Wake n’ Bacon, and it’s an alarm clock that wakes you with the smell of freshly cooked bacon. The night before, you place frozen bacon in, and it cooks it while you sleep so it’s ready for you when you wake up. This will prevent other bacon related accidents, such as burning your foot on your George Foreman grill while trying to cook bacon first thing in the morning (a la Michael Scott)

3. Making connections. We all know about the joys of twitter and its one line conversations. What about taking it further, though? How about twitter friendships, dates, even proposals? I’ve seen at least two cases of this, both at Boing Boing and at Wired. I can’t decide if I think this is romantic, funny, or sad. It’s probably a combination of the three.

I hear you can also use the internet for things like reading the news and researching topics, but this has yet to be proven to me. Well, what about you? What do you use the internet for besides porn?
