What, your boss isn’t cool with you spending five hours of your workday surfing the web?
I guess I don’t know the feeling, but I can sympathize, and I can also help you out: workFRIENDLY is a simple web service that turns any website into an uncanny doppelganger of Microsoft Word, so you can look like you’re working on ‘important documents’ when you’re actually looking at ‘important sports scores.’ workFRIENDLY strips out all the images and coloring from a web site and changes the format to look like a bland old word document, complete with Word toolbars at the top!
Take a look. It changed msn.ca from this:

Not too shabby eh?
There’s a handy “boss key” that replaces the web page with something even more work-friendly: anti-procrastination tips!
