This website is absolutely FANTASTIC! I honestly have had a hard time fulfilling my role as a community member since moving to Eugene. A came here not knowing a single person and starting to attend community events is something I am really looking forward to doing. This really will help me further connect with the community. I also loved that the site did not just have one genre of arts to attend but a multitude of them as well as recreation. All combined together to help express and allow submergence into Eugene culture.

StumbleUpon is a discovery engine (a form of web search engine) that finds and recommends web content to its users. Its features allow users to discover and rate Web pages, photos, and videos that are personalized to their tastes and interests using peer-sourcing and social-networking principles.

I like this StumbleUpon! I found the coolest page that shows how to fold a square of fabric into 12 or so different styles of sack- er wrap. I like the wine bag :)

I love using stumbleupon as another resource for viewing and reading about different art, music, activities, and other creative art sectors. I like how you can narrow down your searches to your specific interests.
