Ah, the ubiquitous motivational poster: high school counselors love them, middle management loves them, and whoever decorated my dentist's waiting room loves them.
But for snarky, pessimistic people like me there's Despair, Inc., which makes demotivation posters and calendars. And now they're giving you the chance to make your own demotivation posters. Just upload a picture, choose your font and colors, and add your own funny headline and caption. Then you can download the image for free or, for $12.95, you can order an 11" x 14" poster.
CONTEST ALERT!!!
We want to see what you come up with! Post your image online and put a link to it in the comment section of this post. We'll pick the 3 we like best and post them on Web Diversions. Here's one we made:
Now you can turn any image you have on your computer into a full-size poster. Block Posters let's you upload an image and then automatically breaks it up into letter-sized rectangles that you can print out and tape together. I recommend using a high-gloss paper and, rather than taping the pages together edge to edge, create a bold and attractive effect by evenly spacing them.
Ah, the dilemma of the American consumer: you hate those ugly box stores taking over your town and kicking out small business, but then where else are you supposed to buy things like socks and laundry detergent?
And if you're that endangered species, the American craftsmen, where do you sell your wares to the masses without quitting your day job to haul 
an awning and a folding table around the festival circuit?
Well Etsy.com solves both those problem. Etsy is an online marketplace for people to both buy and sell handmade goods.
For shoppers, the attractive interface makes it a pleasure to browse through their huge selection of available goods which includes everything from independent music and publications to toilet paper holders, furniture, and clothes. You can use a more traditional by-category-search (or just use the search box, duh) but you can also use one of their many tools for alternate browsing. Their color browser let's you select any color using a fun interface and then shows you all products available that incorporate that color. Choose as many colors at a time as you like and move items around as you browse. Time Machine enables you to browse
through the most recently listed items by clicking and dragging through images on an interactive page. Treasury lets you browse through user-selected "top items". Come across a user who seems to share your tastes? Connections creates a diagram of items they've purchased. When you click an item, it shows you what other users have purchased it and all the other things those customers have purchased (and on and on). By far the coolest option is the Geolocator, which lets you browse the most recently added items by location, using an awesome interactive globe.
Everyone knows Wikipedia by now (don't you? I mean my mom knows about Wikipedia by now) and it's popularity has spawned a Wikilution. Wiking for business is a new fad (move over business blogs!) and now there's the Million Dollar Wiki (doomed to failure as it's natural links could never overwhelm the spam links it will draw which will piss off Google no-end). But no Wikis seem to be able to live up to the standard set by Wikipedia.
But someone finally found a wiki niche that just makes sense. wikiHow is, in it's own words, "a collaborative writing project aiming to build the world's largest how-to manual." And, from what I see, it's a success. Keep getting an error 1418 on your iPod Classic? Well just put "error 1418 iPod" into wikiHow's search, and you get this. Too many martinis last night? Check out How to Get Rid of a Hangover. There are also plenty of articles that would fall under "advice" more than "how-to", such as "How to be Happy After a Divorce" or "How to Live Life to the Fullest"
And of course, being a wiki, you can add articles too. Know how to play the kazoo with your nose? Share with the class, dude! You can add your skills to the likes of "How to Get a Stubborn Horse to Jump", "How to Enjoy a Kung Fu Movie With a Friend Who Doesn't Enjoy Kung Fu", "How to Diagnose and Replace a Failed PC Power Supply", and "How to Copyright a Song."
