Welcome!

I started this blog back in August 2008 to share some of the cool and interesting websites that I come across. I’ve recently decided to expand the focus beyond cool websites, to now encompass anything online (videos, pictures, products, etc.) that are either cool, funny, unique, or a great idea. So if you’re ready, come along for the ride!

Have You Ever Thought of Doing Brain Exercises?

Posted by Matt | Posted in Online Store, Shopping | Posted on 04-08-2011

I know that may sound like a weird question but if you think about it, your brain is a muscle like any other (bicep, deltoid, pectorals, etc.) and needs to get a good workout to stay in tiptop shape!  So in addition to working on those “guns” (or for some “water pistols”… but hey who’s judging?) you should also be working out your brain!  Who knew?  Apparently a guy by the name of Lindsay Gaskins, who started a company called Marbles: The Brain Store.  They have a website as well, where all of the products they sell in their Chicago area stores can be purchased.

I think this is a great concept for a business.  There are lots of people of all ages, not just aging baby boomers, who could benefit from regular brain stimulation.  I really like their website too, it’s clean, easy to navigate, and has a lot of brain fitness related information.

So what do you think?  Would you buy something from Marbles: The Brain Store?  Looking forward to your comments!

Tired of the Horrible Greeting Card Selection at your Local Store?

Posted by Matt | Posted in Online Store | Posted on 03-21-2010

If you’re like me when you need a greeting card you probably head to your local bargain retail/drug store to pick one out.  You probably spend a good 10-15 minutes looking through the small selection of extremely cheesy cards, each one worse than the last.  Defeated, you finally pick the least lame card of the bunch.  Luckily now there’s a new alternative: enGreet.com.  To me this site is pure genius.  Users can order anywhere from 1 greeting card ($1.99 for blank, $2.99 for custom) up to 1,000 and with a wide selection to choose from, you’re sure to find one you like.

I like websites like this that fill a need that traditional brick and mortar stores simply can’t.  Since everyone has to buy greeting cards for all of the various occasions throughout the year, I think this was a great idea for a website.  What do you think, would you give enGreet a shot?
