Glad you liked my cartoon! I had a look at Digg and Stumbleupon, and signed up for Stumbleupon, as it was by far my favourite. As you say, the wonderfully random nature of the things that come up when you stumble is amazing, and there were a lot of positive or human interest stories, as opposed to Digg, which just felt like another newspaper to me.
Two stories I stumbled upon were 'sidewalk chalk guy' from gpprime and 'Teenage handbag thief outpaced by 72 year old ex-sprinter' from the Telegraph newspaper.
'sidewalk chalk guy'
Was a collection of photos of sidewalk chalk pictures. Absolutely amazing. Some of them (particularly the laptop) you look at and just can't believe they aren't real-- they look so amazingly 3-D!

'Teenage handbag thief outpaced by 72 year old ex-sprinter' from the Telegraph newspaper.
I really like these kind of positive human interest stories, and we don't get enough of them in newspapers (I've stopped reading newspapers for that very reason-- all the doom and gloom). It was a great article, that reminds us we're often capable of more than we'd believe. Link embeded below:

Hi
Awesome blogging, I really enjoyed having a look at your links that you submitted. I like the story with the 72 lady who had her bag snatched, absolutely shocking. You nearly finished only two more steps to go, your online survey and final comment. We look forward to reading your blog :-)
