The Daily Procrastinator

Greetings, procrastinators! Another beautiful Spring week has come and gone. I know you sit at your desk during the work day and wish you could be outside enjoying the season. Unfortuantly, odds are that your boss would frown upon that idea. There’s good news, though! You can access The Daily Procrastinator right there in your workspace! It’s not the same as sitting outside in the Spring weather, but it beats working…

Let’s look back at this week’s posts, one writer at a time, and make sure you didn’t miss a thing.

TallGirl led the team in posts this week. She began the week with a fond farewell to Harry Kalas, longtime voice of the Philadelphia Phillies. She continued by posting a photograph that simultaneously celebrates Easter and borderline insanity. In the following days, TallGirl posted a thought on (supposedly) discounted footwear and a stupefying bit of Octomom news. She wrapped up her week as a Procrastinator with a rumination on the effects the economic downturn is having on long-standing American businesses.

"You're going to procrastinate? In THAT outfit?"

Magnus, the Procrastinator responsible for marketing, techinical expertise, and all things geek-related, is normally pretty quiet, but he spoke up twice this week. First, he announced the iPhone-specific version of The Daily Procrastinator. A few days later, he posted a brief tutorial on the use of Real Simple Syndication (RSS) to make information bring itself to you, instead of spending your valuable time searching for it. I had no idea this service existed. It’s genius!

Finally, BigRedPoet threw his hat into the proverbial ring twice this week. First, he posted a celebration of the arrival of crawfish season and outdoor concerts in the American south. Later, BRP provided a list of five links to help the procrastinators of the world wile away a few valuable hours of work time. Click them. Trust me.

The Daily Procrastinator: Contributing to the Dramatic Reduction of Your Personal Productivity

Even the most skilled veteran procrastinator can occasionally sit down at a keyboard with the intent to waste an hour or two and realize that he or she doesn’t really have a plan. Uncool! In order to make sure that you never, ever run out of ways to waste your valuable time, check out the links below. They’re some of my favorite procrastination locations.

My brute: Fear me!

My Brute
At this nifty website, you create a tiny warrior who ventures into the arena and wages mighty battle on your behalf. As your brute fights, he or she grows in strength, speed, and agility. It’s animated gladiatorial mayhem!

The Impossible Quiz
This might be the most addictive thing on the internet. It’s got over 100 puzzling, amusing, and sometimes just plain ridiculous questions to keep you guessing. I’ve never finished it, but I’ve reached questions in the 80s!

The Flight Of The Hamsters
Why is this so much fun? The name is pretty self-explanatory, I’d say.

Fail Blog
I’m pleased when the people around me experience success and victory, but I’m amused when they fail horribly.

Viking Kittens
Finally, someone has found a way to combine the power and majesty of Led Zeppelin with the cuddliness of kittens!

Now, go forth and procrastinate.
