Create safety signs online with Sign Builder 2.0

Industrial Download Squad signIf you've ever needed to quickly make an industrial safety sign of some sort, check out Sign Builder 2.0. Using this site, you can create safety signs, ANSI signs, hazardous materials signs, or lockout tags quickly.

Registration is required, but once you have a free account it's a simple matter of choosing the type of sign you need to generate, and adding your text. The site will instantly generate a downloadable PDF file that you can then print out as needed. Obviously the possibilities for creating prank signs with this site are endless, but the practical uses are just as plentiful.

Sometimes you find the coolest things in the strangest of places. We found this site via Matt Cutts (the well-known Google blogger) in an old draft post from 2005 that he finally decided to publish this week. The post outlines how getting legitimate links coming to your site is the best and most effective form of search engine optimization. One of the examples Matt gives is to make sure that your website can do something of value, like creating safety signs.

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.
