7 Holy Week Time Wasters!

Simsimi
As humans we rely heavily on communicating with other people, but for some bizarro reason we are more fascinated with carrying on a conversation with a robot.

Simsimi is an automated chat bot that is programmed to respond to text much like the way you chat with your friends on IM---except you’re not chatting with a human being. Great for those awkward family gatherings where you have no one to talk to, Simsimi is probably your best bet to combat boredom. Just try not to laugh aloud when it becomes smart-alecky.

Draw Something
What’s better than Pictionary? Online pictionary! Draw Something is a fun, addictive game that has people pulling all-nighters in the hopes that people will understand what they sketched. Just think about it, you fall asleep waiting for someone’s turn, Wake up the next day, and hey! It's your turn next. It’ll also make you realize that you should’ve paid more attention in art class, and that drawing “Twilight” is harder than it sounds.

Angry Birds Space
The Angry Birds have gone intergalactic, and even though the launch of Angry Birds Space was eclipsed by the Draw Something craze, it’s done pretty well with 10 million downloads in first three days of being available online. Rovio ‘spacified’ the birds and added exciting new levels that are so challenging they’ll piss you off so badly. Some people are saying that this version lets the green pigs pop easier, that might be true, but it’s actually harder to get three stars. Happy pig popping!

Smurfs’ Village
What’s that saying? It takes a village to raise a Smurf? Actually, it takes just one person and hours of idle time to take care of an entire Smurf village. You start out with one mushroom house and a ready plowed plot of land and from there you can build houses, big gardens, bridges--the works. Think real estate mogul Donald Trump, but without the hair, the voice and the firing of people and more fear of Gargamel.

Your Inbox
We bet your inbox is so cluttered you have to use Search to find an email that you got two days ago. We had to put this on the list because the everyday hustle gets you distracted from cleaning up your inbox. You’ve probably already gotten about 100 notifications from Facebook that are all about someone commenting, posting, replying on your Timeline.

Or maybe about 30 forwarded emails from your parents that are all photos of animals dressed as people. Two words: search and delete. Label, filter and change the theme of your email--GMail is a great example. More importantly, it’s a unified inbox where you can pull up a Calendar, write tasks, and chat. Better do it now before it starts filling up again.

Your Facebook Timeline
Oh, Timeline. What did our Facebook pages look like without you? We remember, it was called a Wall and was easier to navigate. You technically can’t get rid of Timeline, but you can change the way it looks to you. A Chrome extension called FB Timeline Remover and Displayer instructs your browser to be an older version that Facebook doesn’t support, reverting it to the old look. But other people who don’t use that extension can still see your Timeline, and if you want to hide anything from them your best bet would be to clean it up before your profile goes public.

All the latest Wong Fu videos
Their video, Strangers Again, went viral almost a year ago with more than 9 million views. What’s funny is the shot that video with only one camera and no crew. Most of their videos are humorous and lighthearted, but you probably already knew that.

They’re more known to collaborate with other YouTube stars like KevJumba, Nigahiga and David Choi, and for going around universities in the U.S. screening their films, but they also visited the Philippines for the first time last month as part of their Asia tour. Our personal favorites are their Wong Fu Weekends series, and since it’s Lent, you’ll have all the time going through them, some even going back as far as 2008.
