Second Thoughts

If you're the type who'll do a little work to get a freebie, then Second Thoughts has some offers for you. The site lists some free things you can get (like food, magazines, or even a screwdriver), usually by filling out a form or registering somewhere. I'm going to try the free Krispy Kreme offer. Mmm... doughnut....

Oliviah Unleashed

What do you get when you combine fractal art and music lyrics? Oliviah Unleashed. I stumbled upon this blog while surfing around and was captivated by the fractal images. Something about fractals makes me stare at them and go "ooh" and "aah".

Dancing on Fly Ash

Dancing on Fly Ash is a blog of microfiction -- all stories in the blog are one hundred words or less. Well, I'm taking their word for it because I didn't count the number of words, but the stories are very short. It's pretty amazing what they're able to convey in one hundred words sometimes.

Paper Kraft

Paper Kraft is devoted to making all kinds of cool things out of paper. If you thought origami cranes were cool, you should see the crafts in this blog. Most require you to download and cut out premade designs. With Easter coming up, you can learn to make an Easter Egg (with a little chick inside) or Easter Bunny out of paper. Impress your friends and family!

Six Line Reviews

If you want to review something -- a movie, book, food, person, anything -- and can write the review in six lines, submit it to Six Line Reviews. The reviews on the blog so far cover subjects from the TV show Oz to venetian blinds to peanut butter.

The Cartoonist they call the StiK

The Cartoonist they call the StiK is another comic blog that I find pretty funny. Most of the posts are episodes of the comic called World of Cow. Other creations by the author, contests, and personal notes are also interspersed in the blog.

Dead Guy. The Cartoon.

I ran across Dead Guy while surfing blogs on BlogExplosion and thought it was one of the funniest comic blogs I've seen yet. I only wish the author (I. M. Dedd) would update it more often than the once a week or so that we get now. I want more Dead Guy! :-)
