Stumbleupon Finds: October 2007 Edition

In the midst of the redesign, I realized that I hadn't done one of these posts in about 5 months, and since I use these posts to show you all weird things I liked, and to keep track of them myself, I've started going back and putting together the backlog in this category. Just 3 more to go... and February on the weekend.

Stumbleupon Finds: May Edition

I notice every month I do this, the list gets longer and longer... perhaps I will need to do this feature bimonthly in the future. As it stands, May was a banner month for weird, funny and thoughtful content from the rich seas of the internet.

Please enjoy these nuggets, and I encourage you to look at other content by these people if you like their work.
