The premise of Worthy Wednesday is simple: I’ll explain why I find a site Google Reader-Worthy, and hopefully introduce readers to a useful resource in the process.*

Today’s Worthy Wednesday pick: Fail Blog

While most Worthy Wednesday posts are all about productivity or furthering your career, today’s is not. Today’s Worthy Wednesday post is all about failure. Why would you want to read a blog about failure? Because it’s funny, of course.

Fail Blog comes from the same people as the lovely LOLCats and is basically a repository of pictures and short videos of so-called “Epic fails,” such as this advertisement for the fire alarm that traps the hand of the fire alarm puller until an authority figure can arrive and confirm that yes, indeed there is a real fire.

Be warned! Some may not be quite work safe and some are just not tasteful in the least. That’s why they failed at their purpose, of course. And don’t be like me and browse about 200 pages of fail blog. For maximum failure interspersed with your productivity, just stick it in the RSS reader and get a good laugh once in awhile when a “Fail!” crops up among your more serious feeds.

*For the approximately 75% of you that do not embrace your Google Reader or other RSS feed reader, these things basically allow you to plug in a web address (not all addresses, but many) and then, while you are off writing, or working, or playing, they collect all the new posts that cropped up on that site while you were gone. This makes it a breeze to come back and read all your regular blogs, news outlets and even Craigslist categories without missing a thing.  Once again, I will shamelessly suggest that you try it now by plugging the address http://blog.jennescalona.com into your Google reader or other RSS feed reader of choice.
