Free. How To Use Your Mac To Waste Valuable Time.

There’s no doubt about it. We’re too serious, too hardworking, too in need of some R & R, and a few laughs.

Fortunately, your Mac is the perfect place to get started. Would you take a chainsaw to your Mac? Why not? It could be fun.

What if you came across a web site that just sucked royally (but not This One)? Wouldn’t it be great if you could just paint graffiti all over the web site’s home page? Think of it is as a mixture of rage, revenge, creativity, all wrapped up in an anonymous action for which no one would be the wiser?

You could spend weeks, months, years, money, or time in jail trying to hack into a web site so you could deface the home page. The gratification level might be good, but the risks are not worth bargaining for, right?

I’ve got a better way for you to take out your frustrations, let everyone in the world you want to know what you did, but without the hangover of jail time. All you need is a few minutes, your Mac, Safari, a few web sites that you’re ready to destroy.

Are you with me so far?

Click Here. This link takes you to a little web site called Netdisaster, and it’s the funnest, coolest tool ever for Mac users. Granted, it’s not exclusive to Mac users, but it works great on Safari (not so much on Firefox).

What’s necessary to get your juices flowing? Besides a one year paid subscription to Met-Art? Fill out one field, and select a disaster.

For example, if you’d like to deface Microsoft’s web site, enter microsoft.com, select Cream Pie as the designated disaster (paying homage to Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, and his love for cream pie facials). Then click the Go button. That’s it. Get ready for fun.

The list of disasters is extensive and ranges from Meteors to Mars Attacks spaceships, from a Chainsaw to Spilled Coffee, and Dinosaurs to (my favorite) Dog Poop. Each disaster hits the selected web page in a unique way, and most pages can be set to “self healing” mode so you can watch the defacing over and over.

Honestly, isn’t this better than spraying paint on a squad car, or getting caught hacking into the White House web site? the image below contains some examples. Click on it and go right to the NetDisaster site and try it out for yourself.

It’s Friday. Enjoy yourself.
