			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I hope to provide you with &#8220;Top of the &#8216;Net&#8221; every weekend, which will usually be a list of not-to-be-missed web discoveries. Tune in!</em></p>
<p>Just when you think the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet" title="Internet" rel="wikipedia">Internet</a> is saturated and things can&#8217;t get any more interesting, you discover new sites and blogs that just blow you away. I love to stumble across sites that make me ask: &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t <em>I</em> think of that?&#8221;</p>
<p>Three such sites come to mind, each one notable for its creativity. You <em>must</em> check these out:</p>
<p>1. One of my favorite blogs is <a href="http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/">Cake Wrecks</a>, a clever <a class="zem_slink" href="http://blogger.com" title="Blogger" rel="homepage">blogspot</a> blog that&#8217;s been around for just over a year and is &#8220;eating up&#8221; the competition on Google page ranks. Here&#8217;s the tag line for this blog: <em>When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.</em> This is a hilarious site, create by Jen Yates, that feeds off the submissions of whacky looking cakes that readers have either made, ordered or received. Among other things, this site, and the others I list here, are successful because the owners write well. Look for great captions and subtitles. Here&#8217;s a sample cake photo from Cake Wrecks:</p>
<p><a href="http://nylady.edublogs.org/files/2009/05/cake-wrecks-1.jpg"><img src="http://nylady.edublogs.org/files/2009/05/cake-wrecks-1-221x300.jpg" alt="" title="cake-wrecks-1" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-224" width="221" height="300"></a></p>
<p>The title above this entry (which included a seriously long menu of &#8220;horse&#8221; cakes) was: Why beat a dead horse&#8230;when you can eat one? </p>
<p>Yates has written a book, naturally, and is selling a variety of T-shirts, affectionately called &#8220;Wreckwear.&#8221; Her contributors and fans (legions of them) are called Wreckies.</p>
<p>Now why didn&#8217;t I think of that?</p>
<p>2. Again, a site that lives and breathes based on the contributions of others: <a href="http://www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com">AwkwardFamily Photos</a>. This one, which was featured on The Today Show last week, was also passed along by my work colleague, John Resanovich, who is always sending me cool sites. Warning: Before you go on AwkwardFamilyPhotos, take a bathroom break. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll have an accident from laughing so hard. These are some of the most hilarious photos you could imagine.</p>
<p>Here are a couple of samples from Awkward, also notable for its spot-on captions and subtitles.</p>
<p>This one is titled: Joy Ride</p>
<p><a href="http://nylady.edublogs.org/files/2009/05/rollercoaster.jpg"><img src="http://nylady.edublogs.org/files/2009/05/rollercoaster-252x300.jpg" alt="" title="rollercoaster" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-225" width="252" height="300"></a></p>
<p>And this one is called Mommy-the-Pooh:<br />
<a href="http://nylady.edublogs.org/files/2009/05/pooh1.jpg"><img src="http://nylady.edublogs.org/files/2009/05/pooh1-241x300.jpg" alt="" title="pooh1" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-226" width="241" height="300"></a></p>
<p>3. Finally, I must introduce you to <a href="http://www.good.is/post/picture-show-you-are-what-you-eat/#/about/what_is_good">Good Magazine&#8217;s</a> examination of a series of photos of the insides of people&#8217;s refrigerators. They were produced by photographer Mark Menjivar, and collectively make a fascinating statement about what our refrigerators say about us. For example:</p>
<p><a href="http://nylady.edublogs.org/files/2009/05/fridgeimage-2.jpg"><img src="http://nylady.edublogs.org/files/2009/05/fridgeimage-2-300x239.jpg" alt="" title="fridgeimage-2" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-227" width="300" height="239"></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what the caption says:<br />
<em>Carpenter/Photographer | San Antonio, TX | 3-Person Household | 12-Point Buck | 2008</em></p>
