How to access blocked websites - Top 10

clipper's remarks: see site for the rest

1. Use IP address - This is the simplest way to bypass domain name based access restrictions. Instead of the domain name such as www.webstuffscan.com use the direct IP address. To find the IP address use one of the free host to IP online conversion tools such as this.

2. Use Google cache - If you are not bothered whether the content is latest on a site, Google cache is best. Do a Google search for the site and then click on the cached link below the search results.

3. Use an Anonymizer - In this method you access a third party site which in turn routes your request to the required server. Some services provide URL encryption also. The problem is that most of these servers are no longer free. Do a google search for the latest list as this is a very dynamic area Following are some services which still works(free!),

Proxify - Hides original URL and provides an array of access of options. The is one of the best free servers.
Block Stop - New guy in the town!
Anonymouse - This works, but URL is visible and hence may be blocked by the filtering software.

4. Use Online Translation Tools - In this method, we can use the translation service as a web proxy. Following are the best links I know of. Again Google is your best friend for more resources.

Altavista Babel fish - In the above replace www.webstuffscan.com with the site you want. You can also visit Babel fish site.
Google Translate - Similar to Babel fish.

5. Use Google Mobile search - Google mobile search works, but output may not be optimal. This is very similar to using a Web proxy.

6. Use a public Proxy server - There are many free proxy servers out in the Web. Note that in order to use these you have to change internet connection settings in Internet Explorer or whatever browser you use. This is one such list.

7. Get web pages via email - This is useful if you need a single Web page. Obviously accessing large files is not possible. Given below are some examples.

Remembering the essence of a clipmark

Wed, 28 Jun 2006 17:15:56 GMT

clipped by: egoldstein
clipper's remarks: Some thoughts i've had lately about clipmarks.

Clip Source: clipmarks.blogs.com

I just wanted to briefly mention a concern that I've had lately. I have recently noticed a lot of public clipmarks that contain entire articles/pages (or most of it). For two important reasons I am hoping this will change.

First, in my opinion, the key distinguishing aspect of clipmarks is that instead of simply posting links to entire web pages, we are clipping and sharing the best piece or pieces of information from within those pages (the "sweetspot" if you will). It is my opinion that clipping too much information substantially reduces the power of the clip as a way for people to quickly toggle through bits of information about all sorts of topics in less time. Basically, when it comes to a clipmark, I think that more information often results in less quality.

The second reason pertains to respecting the rights of content owners. There are many different types of clipmarks that are generated from all sorts of different web sites, so this concern certainly does not apply across the board. But, when small nuggets of information are clipped, they can serve as powerful drivers of traffic to the source of that content. In this way, content creators benefit from having their content clipped. This is fair and good for everyone. But clipping an entire page clearly lessens the likelihood of a click through to the source page because all of the information can be gathered from the clip. This is not the intention of clipmarks and, often times, is not fair to the original source of the content.

I hope the idea of clipping small pieces of information instead of entire web pages is one you will all agree creates a better experience for everyone and shows greater respect for the rights of original content creators.

Clip on!!

What's the point of social studies? A student's perspective...

clipper's remarks: very interesting point of view from a student (not sure what grade he's in). i just recently started reading Kazu's blog (http://kazublog14.blogspot.com/ ), but i really enjoy the honesty and subject matter. an honest perspective from a student growing up in california. props to the web for making it possible to be exposed to this.

what's the point of social studies!?!

Like the title says. You just memorize some crap, like when the Aryans invaded, or things Columbus brought back with him, and then you never use it. It's useless! The info just sits in your head and takes precious memory from your brain that you can use for more important stuff, like remembering to feed your dog. I think schools should use the one hour wasted on social studies for more productive, useful-for-life subjucts, like organization.

Man Ray - Solarization (1929)

The dadaist and surrealist painter also experimented extensively with his camera.

Christian Spurling - Loch Ness Monster (1934)

London’s Daily Mail hired M.A. Wetherell to shoot the famed monster. Finding nothing, he conspired with Spurling to concoct this famous image.

Murray Becker - Hindenburg (1937)

Photos like this of the Hindenburg disaster shattered faith in Zeppelin travel.

20th Century Fox - Betty Grable (1942)

Grable’s million-dollar legs were the subject of the most-seen pinup sent to ease the suffering of American troups during World War II.

Ansel Adams - The Tetons - Snake River (1942)

Adams turned photography into an art, and inspired the preservation of natural wonders in the process.

Margaret Bourke-White - Gandhi at his Spinning Wheel (1946)

This portrait of a hero is now an icon for humility and nonviolence.

Philippe Halsman - Dalí Atomicus (1948)

Halsman’s famous photograph of a really surreal world.

Galactic Center Region

Galactic Center Region

In this spectacular image, observations using infrared light and X-ray light see through the obscuring dust and reveal the intense activity near the galactic core. Note that the center of the galaxy is located within the bright white region to the right of and just below the middle of the image. The entire image width covers about one-half a degree, about the same angular width as the full moon.

Each telescope's contribution is presented in a different color:

- Yellow represents the near-infrared observations of Hubble. The observations outline the energetic regions where stars are being born as well as reveal hundreds of thousands of stars.

- Red represents the infrared observations of Spitzer. The radiation and winds from stars create glowing dust clouds that exhibit complex structures from compact, spherical globules to long, stringy filaments.

Watch Free TV and Movies (including Spiderman 3) on VideoHybrid

There's a new site on the block called "Video Hybrid" that lets you stream tons of movies and TV shows for free.

I've previously mentioned a number of sites and methods for watching movies and TV shows for free but, Video Hybrid, in my opinion, stands head and shoulders above the rest.

What makes Video Hybrid so nice is that available content is displayed in a clean and easy to use manner that makes it easy to find what you want and also to get a quick read of what a movie or TV show is all about.

Notice how nice the movie section is laid out. Each title has a movie poster and brief synopsis making the selection process as simple and enjoyable as a stroll through your local video store. The beauty though is that you don't have to worry about returning it or even paying for it. Clicking the fancy PLAY button is all you need to do.

Of particular note is that it currently offers the new Spiderman 3 movie for your free movie streaming pleasure as shown below.
