The World’s Rudest Country

By web gangsta | Published: April 16, 2012


Web Watch does get out to travel once in a while, and we do our best to try to present ourselves as a courteous tourist on occasion.

Lord knows, cities around the world have opened up their doors to welcome Web Watch and we want to be invited back.  More times than we can count, our kindness to our hosts has been reciprocated back tenfold.

But there are places in this world where the residents look down on tourists with disdain.

The Ultimate List of Songs to Sing in the Shower

By web gangsta | Published: April 15, 2012


Quick – how many of you sing while in the shower?

Oh, don’t lie.  We all know that over 55% of you do it (we’ve seen the studies).  Besides, MAY 15th  is NATIONAL SING IN THE SHOWER DAY, so you better be prepared.

But the bigger question is, WHAT SONGS DO YOU CHOOSE TO SING IN THE SHOWER?

Well, leave it to Web Watch to compile the ULTIMATE LIST OF SHOWER SONGS for you to consider the next time you decide to pop in for a quick rinse:

How to find out how much your domain name is worth

By web gangsta | Published: April 14, 2012


“How much is my domain name worth?”

It’s a common question that Web Watch is often asked, and surprisingly comes up in more casual conversations than you may think one would experience in an average week.

Of course, let’s get the important piece out of the way:  you DO own a domain name or two, don’t you?

If not, you know you can always buy one from any number of domain name registrars that you may find online.

Right.  So now you have that ultimate, desirable domain name.   So what next?  Are domain names really good investments?

4 Things Women Should NOT Do At Work

By web gangsta | Published: April 13, 2012


Over the years, Web Watch has worked for both male and female bosses.   And we would be the first to tell you that there are distinct differences between the managerial styles of both.

Some of them were very good at what they did; others, not quite so much.  And some of that we definitely can chalk up to the individual’s personalities.

But not always. 

Sometimes, the individual was more of the “in it to win it” style of management. Take no prisoners, rule with a firm, but iron-clad fist.   And that was okay too.

And we’ve seen both men and women be taken down by their leadership skills (or lack thereof – again, depending on the person).

Traveling abroad? Don’t forget to pack your doorstop!

By web gangsta | Published: April 12, 2012


If you’re anything like Web Watch, you’ve done a fair amount of traveling over the years.

And with all that traveling, you may have found that you have specific habits or tricks of the trade that you’ve figured out along the way.

For us, it’s that we always have to travel with a fresh crossword puzzle and a pen.  The goal is to finish the crossword puzzle before the end of the flight.

Easy, right?   Sure, we have other oddities in our carry-on luggage:  a pair of dice being one of the more unusual items to have, but it goes along with the deck of cards.

You never know when you’re going to end up needing a deck of cards.

The Internet is for Porn

By web gangsta | Published: April 11, 2012


Admit it – you’ve looked at naked people online, even if it was only accidentally.

And there are some of you who purposefully go out of your way to look for online porn photos.  It’s okay, we won’t report you — looking at naked adults of consenting age and profession is perfectly healthy… or so we’ve been told by the collegiate Human Sexuality 101 class we took a few years ago.

But it seems that everywhere you look online, you have to be wary of running across Yet Another Porn Site.  Heck, just turn off Google Safesearch while viewing image search results, and you’ll be inundated with naked bodies across your screen no matter what your original search term happened to be.

Which brings up one question that Web Watch was asked recently:

Women would rather have bigger breasts than be smart

By web gangsta | Published: April 10, 2012


“Math is Hard. Let’s go shopping!”

Ah, remember when Barbie actually said that, and the uproar that came from concerned parents that thought that Barbie wasn’t being a proper role model by encouraging young women that being smart wasn’t nearly as important as going out shopping?

Well, maybe the folks at Mattel were ahead of their time with this.

Practicing proper bathroom etiquette

By web gangsta | Published: April 8, 2012


Web Watch was talking with a friend of ours the other day, and they had this to share about their home bathroom experience:

It’s my belief that while at home, the person who uses the toilet last is obligated to ensure that they leave the bowl clean for the next occupant.  It should not be the obligation of the next in line to take care of business for the previous pooper.

They then went on a rant about how their partner doesn’t give the bowl a second look while on their way out the door, leaving any extraneous flushing and/or plunging to someone else.

This ended up turning into a huge argument between the two of them that night, which – while slightly uncomfortable to witness firsthand – will be an amusing discussion topic amongst the Web Watch circle for years to come.  One side comment along the way was

I’d rather stick my own hand in the water than have someone else plunge my poo.

Which reminds us of another question regarding how much one should tip the hotel maintenance staff for having to make an after-hours plunger delivery to ones hotel room.  We were told $10 was the going rate, but something tells me you could get by with just $5. 

But we digress.

The Ultimate Guide to Metrosexual Underwear

By web gangsta | Published: April 7, 2012


Metrosexuals, listen up!

You may think you know everything about everything grooming-wise, but apparently you do not.

Sure, you may go around looking all nice and pretty, and have a way with the ladies at the bar — but maybe you don’t know all the details of what women REALLY look for when you take your pants off.

Yes, men – women do care about your underwear.  They may not like to admit it, but just like the old saying, “clothes make the man,” so goes the other saying, “cartoon animal underpants are a big turn off”.

25 Ways to Tell that You’re Living in a Bubble

By web gangsta | Published: April 5, 2012


The other day, Web Watch was talking with an Internet-savvy friend of ours about the cool stuff we see online, and they surprised us by not knowing anything about the latest smartphone gaming craze, DRAW SOMETHING.

Seriously?  The game has been out for over 2 months now, been all over the news.  And while we haven’t explicitly mentioned it here, we figured that many of our faithful Web Watch readers had already installed it over their copy of Angry Birds.

What it really showed us was that our friend was living in their own little bubble world that they had created, to isolate themselves from the ‘net fluffernutter so they could concentrate on the really good stuff.

You know, kinda like what we do here every day at Web Watch.

Ten Ways to Love Your Job

By web gangsta | Published: April 4, 2012


If there’s one thing Web Watch knows, it’s that we LOVE what we do.

Always have, for the most part.  Our philosophy is that you’re going to spend more time at work and with the people you work with than you will with your own friends and family.

And if you don’t enjoy doing what you’ve signed up for, then you’re just going to be miserable.

Unsatisfied.

Unfulfilled.

And you’ll probably end up not being very good at your career in the end because of it.  Trust us, it’s better to do something you love doing, because being unhappy because of work drudgery isn’t anyway to go through life.  THAT is something that you can directly control and change.

Red Flag Alert! How to tell when you’re dating a loser

By web gangsta | Published: April 3, 2012


Web Watch has spent enough time out at bars and restaurants to recognize when a date seen across the room is heading in the wrong direction.

It could be a subtle sign, like a couple sitting at the table not talking to each other or engrossed in their cellphones instead of each other — or it could be something a bit more blatant, such as a heated discussion that slowly escalates to the point where the whole room is involved in some manner.

Heck, even when if comes to married life, we know plenty of couples who should have seen the writing on the wall well before the divorce papers were a conversation topic… if only they had asked us for our honest opinion of where we thought their relationship was heading.

The 5 Grossest Foods You’re Eating RIGHT NOW

By web gangsta | Published: April 2, 2012


Web Watch isn’t the best to tell you what you should or shouldn’t be eating, most likely because we would never listen to a thing we say about this (“do as we say, not as we do” doesn’t apply to us, it seems).

But our good friends over at EAT THIS, NOT THAT have come up with a list of the FIVE GROSSEST THINGS YOU’RE EATING that will probably make you think again about the crap that you’re putting into your body every day.

How does the average American spend their paycheck?

By web gangsta | Published: April 1, 2012


Web Watch remembers the old adage when we were just starting out to be able to sustain ourselves on our own.

“When you make your budget, you should always devote 1/3 to housing, 1/3 to transportation, and 1/3 for everything else.”

Now, we may not have been able to follow that breakdown exactly, but it’s not necessarily that far from the truth of how AMERICANS ACTUALLY SPEND THEIR PAYCHECK.  Especially if you take into account the need for saving some money for retirement or a rainy day, that ratio may be better split into quarters:

“devote 1/4 to housing, 1/4 to transportation, 1/4 put away in the bank/IRA/investments, 1/4 for everything else”

That seems to be closer to the truth.  Let’s take a look at how the average 48-year-old spends their average $63,091 annual salary (before taxes):

14 Worst Stripper Names

By web gangsta | Published: March 31, 2012


Web Watch has been reading the diary of the ANGRY STRIPPER, and has been quite amused by what Sarah has written thus far.

Who would have thought that dancers would have this much pent-up anger that forces them to write, write, write about their experiences and observations?

It does help when the stripper in question really is a writer, but that’s another post for another day.
