Mygazines.com is a cool website where you can “virtually” read scanned-in print magazines. It’s a weird feeling digitally turning the pages.
If you like the traditional way of reading magazines, but don’t subscribe anymore, check out this cool virtual magazine site. Join and upload your own.
One cool thing about this site, in terms of publishing and copyright questions, is the fact that the advertisements stay in tact and you skip past them as you look for the page on which your article starts.

Are you looking for a funny t-shirt? Perhaps you want a quippy, ironic quote emblazoned on your chest for all to see?
Maybe you want to broadcast to the world something that makes absolutely no sense at all, but makes you appear deep and makes it seem that beneath your inprenetrable soporific gaze, there is nothing but a pure steely intensity of thought threatening to expose itself to the world one fiendishly ironic quote at a time?
Maybe you want to display some old reimagined cultural catch phrase from the 80’s to let people know that you are one with pop culture, you get it, you understand what’s going on in this crazy world and you’re prepared to comment on it.
Or maybe you just want a funny t-shirt?
Check out this list of ten of the best places online to find, and ultimately buy, funny t-shirts.

Since VP is dedicated to thing of high interest (check the manifesto), for this post I wanted to compile a list of the best “interesting stuff” websites. These are the sites that you go to and find things that make you go, “What the…?” or “I didn’t know that was possible.”
These are the kinds of sites that you get forwarded by your friends or that you (literally) stumble across on stumbleupon and share with your bored work friends.
Never be bored again.
DeputyDog.com is a “frequently updated website dedicated to showcasing incredible examples of the world’s most fascinating architecture, inspirational design, phenomenal natural oddities.” Check out this post titled “Nine artists who will blow your mind.”
Dark Roasted Blend is a collection of weird and wonderful things updated daily. Check out this post with pictures of the world’s most dangerous roads.
WebUrbanist is all about urban design, culture, architecture, and alternative art. See this post with pictures of interesting street art.
UniqueDaily is exactly what it sounds like. Everyday there are a bunch of links posted that go to interesting videos and articles about a veritable plethora of topics.
VideoSift is a site with thousands of interesting, funny, and downright weird videos you might not otherwise see. These are the kinds of videos that launch a thousand forwarded emails.
