Before we proceed, let me just inform you that I have not read the Harry Potter books. I’ve only seen the movies. You can boo me all you want but I can’t hear you over the sound of me exploring Pottermore. Deal with it.

Actually, it’s 3 clicks away.

I got the magical Pottermore email this morning but I must say I got more excited when I saw the email about Firefox 6.0. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t excited to check out Pottermore, though. So after I was done with work, I opened the email again and clicked on the link. I signed in and BAM!

Comics are fun and colorful, so you’d expect the 404 error pages of comics publisher websites to be a little more interesting than most error pages. That’s not the case, though.

I followed a link from my feed reader to�Marvel’s website and it turns out it was broken. I didn’t mind because I saw a familiar face from Peter Milligan’s run on X-Force: Doop!

Because I have the heart of a super investigative blogger, I naturally felt the urge to check out the 404 error pages of other comics publisher websites. Is it necessary for you to know what these pages look like? No. Will I still show them to you? Yes. Why? I don’t know. All I know is not all of them have that certain oomph that Marvel’s 404 error page has.

What would you do for $5? Would you write a 3-page poem? Would you compose and sing an original song about fat people? Would you punch your own face and/or neck? I know what I’m willing to do for $5.

Doing things for $5 is the simple yet strangely compelling concept behind Fiverr. It’s a website where people can share what they are willing to do for $5, but it’s not as silly as it sounds. People do pretty normal things like editing papers, writing code and designing websites. But Fiverr’s charm relies on the wealth of amusing things people are willing to do for 5 bucks like drawing cartoons, posing for pictures (you need to be hot or cute lest you get laughed at) and singing songs. Some people offer straight up SRS BIZNEZ while others offer creativity and artistic talents. And then there are the oddballs.

I always admired CM Punk as a great in-ring performer but only recently did I appreciate his godlike presence on the mic. In span of just a couple of weeks, he has set the world of pro wrestling — or whatever they call it these days — on fire with his brutally honest and extremely hilarious promos involving John Cena, Vince McMahon and the entire WWE Universe. The last time wrestling was this interesting was the night Nexus invaded Raw for the first time. If this trend continues — by God, I hope it does — we may see a new Attitude Era. This excites me to no end.

My new admiration for CM Punk has only one logical next step: TAKE HIM ON IN A TWITTER BATTLE. I had Visual.ly‘s Twitter infographic tool carry out the digital brawl and here are the results:

I currently have 561 stickers in my GetGlue sticker collection. I have to admit, I unlocked most of them without actually watching a certain movie or TV show or getting excited about an artist going on tour. There’s just something about getting free stickers within a few clicks that makes me feel good. What’s more exhilarating is when you unlock the hard-to-get ones. Now imagine my exhilaration when — thanks to my super sleuthing skills — I discovered unreleased GetGlue stickers (just go with it). Behold, 9 GetGlue sticker rejects!

Multiple Movie Maniac

You checked in to several movies within minutes. You’re either checking in to unlock stickers, flipping through movie channels and checking in to every single movie you pass by — which is kind of retarded — or you have clones and each of them are watching different movies at the same time. Take your pick. In any case, share this one proudly. It’s from our friend, Michael Keaton.
