It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time for my top picks of new tech that I’ve come across this week. Today is mainly going to be a few fun sites that I like to frequent. But before I get into that, I want to talk about a.viary.com
This online sweet is feakin awesome. The picture above was made in their online image editor – Pheonix. I haven’t had a lot of time to play with it, but it looks pretty sweet. Read this blog post that compares it to other online image editors. It blows Photoshop Express out of the water. If you’re interested in trying it out, I still have five invitations that I can share. Just shoot me an email through my contact page.
Now on to my top pics for websites to waste time at.
Songtowearpantsto.com can easily take three hours out of your day without blinking an eye. This guy takes requests from his readers and creates songs based on those requests. It’s to Loud is one of my favorite songs right now. This guy is just a simple everyday genius.
The next two are recommendations from my friend Dave Ortega.
icanhascheezburger.com How can you not laugh at pictures of animals with funny captions? You can’t.
photoshopd.blogspot.com This guy finds obvious (to those that are looking) over-photoshoped pictures. When he points them out…it’s pretty darn funny.
Ok that’s it for this week. I have some other’s up my sleeve, but I’m going to save them for a future post. If you have some websites that you think I should check out or a cool new product, shoot me a comment.

If you haven’t noticed, I made some changes to my website. To the naked eye it might look like I just changed the look of the website around a little bit. But I actually gutted it and started from scratch. The last two days have been pretty crazy.
This all started a few weeks ago when I was talking to my friend Dave Ortega about my blog. You see I had been messing around with my blog for a little over a year now. Dave encouraged me to really take it seriously. So I decided that I would (hence all the posts over the past few weeks). The only problem was that the back end software (Joomla) I was using for the site previously wasn’t made to do blogging (it did the job…but it wasn’t designed for it).So I decided it was time for a change. So I did some research, and switched to WordPress. The past two days I have been spending a fair amount of time uninstalling the old software, installing WordPress, converting the databases of posts, and editing the posts. So far I have been really happy.
There were some small glitches in the process though. I lost all my old comments (there weren’t that many so I’m not put out that much) and I lost some of my posts. If you notice that there is a post that is missing that you really liked, let me know and I will try to recover it for you. There are a few (my BTotD’s) that I’m going to recreate in the upcoming weeks, and I can add your’s to the list. Just leave me a comment.There are also some new features to this site which I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think. I know so far I’m falling in love with my new site.Come back tomorrow…because we have some big news about the baby….yeah it’s what you think.
