CARTOON BLOG
www.gapingvoid.com
A chaotic but fun website which, if you take the time, can yield a lot of laughs and a few pearls of wisdom. The site belongs to Hugh MacCleod, a US marketing and blogging consultant. The banner says “Cartoons drawn on the back of business cards,” and there are some great sketches which are free for you to download and use. There are also some informative articles about marketing and advertising — particularly good were “How to be creative” and “The hughtrain — the market for something to believe in is infinite.”

STRESS BUSTERS
www.stressbusting.co.uk
The dead period between summer and Christmas holidays is a time of stress for many. This website helps you to determine — with the help of a questionnaire — whether you are really stressed or just a bit fed up. It has lots of articles detailing the more conventional alternative therapies used to calm worry warts, such as aromatherapy and yoga. There are lots of coping strategies and tips too — alternatively you can do what Kate Winslet reportedly does and gnaw on a Mexican yam.
