The 100 Best, Most Interesting Blogs and Websites of 2012 (Categorized)
Editor’s note: 2015’s list of the best, most interesting websites has arrived! I don’t know about you, but I’m constantly running into so many cool websites I want to remember or recommend to people but I don’t always have time to make a note of them, add them to Evernote, bookmark them in Delicious, etc. So this is a good example of a post I created as a personal (and completely unscientific) resource that other people will probably benefit from as well. Some of these sites are pretty new while others have been around for a while now, but they are all awesome right now in 2012. So whether you are looking for a way to catch up on the latest Internet trends, want to find some exciting new content to load into your favorite news aggregating app or are just bored and need to waste some time online, this list represents hours of potential discovery.

STAMPEDE - A Stamp That Turns Your Photos Into Postcards by Stampede
Stampede is a reusable stamp that allows you to turn your printed photographs into instant US Postmaster approved postcards. If you’re like most people, you have shoeboxes full of photos somewhere in your house. Maybe they are under your bed or in a closet. These boxes could be full of your own photos as a budding photographer, sentimental photos of you with your parents, children, and friends, or photos from your distant past. Stampede is a movement. Everyone loves getting mail, especially sentimental photos that they can stick on their fridge. With Stampede you simply grab a printed photo and stamp the back with the STAMPEDE stamp. Many of us have converted our old printed photos into digital form and are left wondering what to do with those hard copy originals. We followed the strict guidelines set by the United States Postal Service in designing STAMPEDE. We ordered our custom prototypes from Office Depot after finalizing the postcard design.

Keyboard mixes drinks
World rejoices... Want to know what the word ‘badger’ tastes like? Obviously you do. Well, trust those boozy Russians to come up with a way of doing it. One particularly industrious crackpot has created a machine that is capable of making such dreams a reality. The person, called Morskoiboy, has linked a keyboard to a mess of clear tubes which lead to a series of flavoured syrups. “One day I had this funny idea, and I thought, ‘Well, there’s really nothing stopping me...’,” says Morskoiboy. Now it’s been invented, it’s hard to know how we’ll continue without one. Find out more at his site here. Tags: food and drink, booze

Tackle Any Issue With a List of 100
The List of 100 is a powerful technique you can use to generate ideas, clarify your thoughts, uncover hidden problems or get solutions to any specific questions you’re interested in. The technique is very simple in principle: state your issue or question in the top of a blank sheet of paper and come up with a list of one hundred answers or solutions about it. “100 Ways to Generate Income”, “100 Ways to be More Creative” or “100 Ways to Improve my Relationships” are some examples. “One hundred entries? Isn’t that way too many?” Bear with me: it’s exactly this exaggeration that makes the technique powerful. When starting your list you may believe that there’s no way to get it done. Unlike the related Idea Quota tool — whose primary goal is to acquire the habit of coming up with ideas — the goal of a List of 100 is to take your mind by surprise. Ground Rules There are only two simple principles to keep in mind when making Lists of 100: 1. 2. The Dynamics of Making Lists of 100 1. 2. 3.
