How to keep self busy... guide 1 Online...

Since I am only working part time and even then only when I feel like it, how do I keep myself busy? Well here are a few things and for god knows what reason, the day flies and I don't seem to find time to be more productive.
Other than watching the occassional TV, I have a few good hours of reading nonsense. Its headache free and some of it makes me feel better about myself.

So what do I read? Well more like look at regularly? Two photo blogs of my friends photos. they update and I look, its fun and relaxing and they are very talented.

Then there is Perezhilton.com, I mean come on everyone to a certain level reads Perezhilton.com. Its like a drug to make you feel better about yourself by reading about celebrity misfortunes and stupidity. Its fun and Ive been devouring the topics for years now, on a regular basis.

If you have been living under a rock or bored, give it a shot, here is the link... Perez Hilton

Then there is stuck in customs which I go to for the rest of my viewing pleasure. The photo and info blog is created and put together by Trey Ratcliff. Its an award winning site and he is an award winning photographer. He travels around the world and takes beautiful photo's. I mean the man is talented and he grew up blind in one eye. Here below is a little bio he put together about himself followed by a link to his site. I think most of you will like it. By the way, this is his part time hobby. The man has his own company he manages.


"I’m best known for, well, I suppose, this site, StuckInCustoms.com, which has become the #1 Travel Photography Blog on the internet with around 350,000 visits per month including one from my mom. I’m also one of those Flickr dudes; my photos recently passed over 45 million views combined on Flickr & SmugMug. My work first became popular after I had the honor of having the first HDR photo ever to hang in the Smithsonian. After that, I was fortunate enough to be represented by Getty, been featured on the BBC and various other shows, and have had numerous showings around the world.
I am known generally for my interpretation of HDR photography, for which I have an HDR Tutorial right here. I grew up blind in one eye and this might have changed the way I view the world. I don’t know. It’s hard to be objective about the way one’s brain was wired. My background is in computer science and math, so I bring an algorithm-like process to capturing the scene in such a way that it evokes memories in a palpable manner. "


Anyway just wanted to share a few things that keep me busy..... More to come when I feel like sharing more information :).
