virtual disney

virtual magic kingdom
(www.vmk.com)

this is one i've known about since last summer, when it was in beta testing. this virtual disney world is fun because of the games/rides/challenges, the fact that you get to make your own character and buy items for that character or your "room", and watching the site designers change and add to their "disney world."

this interactive site is safe for kids of all ages, which is good for younger kids but also means us "older" folk can also have fun.

topless sandals

ok... i don't know if this is for real or a hoax, but it seems like it's on the up and up. the website looks legit but don't take my word for it... check it out for yourself.

topless-sandals sells... you guessed it... topless sandals. you can see the picture i included here and here's part of their sales pitch:

Topless sandals simulate walking barefoot while protecting your feet. Topless sandals stick to the bottom of your feet, but leave no residue on your feet when you take them off. The "stick" is guaranteed for a year, which is the typical life span of a flip flop.

i would love to hear from someone who has a pair of these. to know that they're real and to know how well they work.

acme label maker

make your own labels with acme label maker. you can change the font, change the color of the type and/or background, and change the look with the different effects.

frustrating, but addictive

yep... that's what it is. these are sites where you can draw or move items around, such as letters or mosaic tiles, in real time with other users on the site. what's frustrating is that when you try to build or draw something, someone will try to destroy it. and yet... i still try.

draw or more drawing allows you to draw (duh)

mosaic allows you to move little squares around in attempts to create form or shape mosaic style.

personally, my favorite is refrigerator letters. here you move the letters, which look like the old fashion refrigerator magnets, around to try to form words. here i always like to foil the attempts of others... especially when they try to spell out profane words.

if anyone knows of any other sites like these, i'd love to hear about them.

guess the google

guess-the-google is a simple game where the player is shown a montage of images that match up with a google keyword. all you have to do is guess that keyword. sound easy? you better give it a try before you think that.

the human clock

the humanclock site shows a picture of the current time, with the photo changing every minute of every day.

it's not really useful but fun to look at the pictures. some are very creative. the site uses photos that ordinary people send in. so if you think you have an original idea for a picture, take it and send it in. you can see many examples in the site's gallery.

scary skwerls

not all sites are useful, fun, or cool. i came across one that i think is, well... stupid. but i'm sure there's people out there who enjoy it and maybe even get something from it.

check it out for yourself
scarysquirrel

yep, it's all about squirrels... or as they like to say, skwerls. this site has everything you would want to know (and more) about the pesky little critters. but there's some fun stuff, too. like a cool drawing feature where you can draw your own skwerl and then send it to their gallery.

catch the butterfly

have you noticed the butterfly flying around here on this page? if not, wait a second or two and you'll see it start from the top left corner. this butterfly is a feature of my online counter.

check out softwarewings (you can also click on the butterfly) if you're looking for a counter for your website, profile, or page. it's free but has an upgrade available if you want more.

how much do you know?

some people are totally trivia crazy. i'm not. but i occasionally enjoy taking a trivia quiz. you never know when a tidbit of information will come in handy. like, did you know the empire state building was dedicated this day in history in the year 1931?

i found this daily quiz link through my local news' website:
daily quizzes

i'm sure there are a lot of trivia site out there. i'll have to do a little research on that. if you have a good trivia site, leave me a comment telling me about it.
