Free wedding tools at mywedding.com

internet weddingSo, you spend more time surfing the internet than actually working, you met your significant other on the internet and maybe, just maybe you know what a MUD is. Whether you are a geeky boy or the more rare and exotic geeky girl you haven't lost yourself in the rabbit hole of the internet until it becomes time to plan your wedding.

MyWedding is one of the most useful (and free) wedding sites out there. You can create a "wedsite" that will be the envy of your friends even if you don't know a lick of code. The site allows guests to RSVP for the big event, leave comments, sign a guest book and more. The couple can list accommodations, directions, gift registries and even create photo galleries. Once guests have entered an email address on the site you can also easily send out a message to them all if plans change or you update the page.

The design templates vary from the simple to the ornate, cute to couture. No need to have wedding bells plastered everywhere unless that's the look you are going for. Page addresses can be a bit unweildy but that is easy enough to fix by redirecting your own domain name to your MyWedding site.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
