- Neal Fun - (If you've ever wondered
how deep the ocean really is, how much it would cost to spend Bill
Gates' fortune, or just want to lose yourself in some wonderfully
creative internet experiments, Neal.fun is a must-visit. Packed with
beautifully designed interactive games, visualizations, and thought
experiments, it's one of the most entertaining—and surprisingly
educational—corners of the web. Be warned: what starts as a
five-minute visit can easily turn into an hour of exploration.)
- Future Timeline - (A fascinating
timeline of predicted future events based on scientific research,
technology trends, and demographics. It covers everything from AI and
space exploration to medicine and climate science. Even if every
prediction doesn't come true, it's a thought-provoking look at what
the coming decades might hold.)
- FutureMe
-
(Allows
users to write emails to their future selves. Thought-provoking and
personal, and it often sparks great engagement.)
- Deviant
Art (Anyone with a
smart phone can become an Instagram sensation. But Deviant Art is
where the real artists hang out. Traditional and modern artists alike
can showcase their talents in categories that range from painting and
photography to Rain meter skins and desktop wallpapers. Source PC
World)
- Know
Your MeMe (Ever feel feel like everyone is on the joke
except you? Know Your MeMe informs you of the latest ideas, viral
videos, and other phenomena burning up the Internet. Source PC World)
- The
Adventures of Dr. McNinja
(In the tradition of
revisionist, postmodern, deconstructed animated characters (we ain't
talking Scooby Doo here) comes Dr. McNinja, a comic strip hero who can
kick and medically treat ass, all within a few panels..)
- Apple's Get a Mac Ads (Even the staunchest Windows supporter has to admit
the new "Get a Mac" ads are pretty funny and contain at
least a grain of truth. Twelve in all, they boast production values
more suitable for YouTube and star John Hodgman of "The Daily Show"
and Justin Long from "Ed.")

- Now
Not Starring....
(Ever wonder what
"Some Like It Hot" would have been like with Mitzi Gaynor
instead of Marilyn Monroe? Yeah, neither did we. But that doesn't mean
you can't waste countless hours mousing through this catalogue of movie
stars and the roles they turned down, auditioned for, got fired from,
or didn't get.)
- Huh?
Corp (Does anyone really know what
they're doing? At Huh Corp, not only are they clueless about business,
they come out and say so. This parody site riffs on corporate
America's obsession with nonsensical buzz words by giving visitors a
fake consulting company that dares to tell the truth. Huh Corp's
strategy: "Convince clients that we do stuff they can't do
themselves.")

vibe make it a fun, memorable site to share with visitors seeking

- Drench - Browser games can be a lot of
fun, and Drench is one browser game that’s sure to help you kill hours
in one go. In Drench, you get a board full of different colors and you
have to ‘drench’ the entire board in one single color. The challenge
is that you only get a limited number of turns to finish the board, so
you have to think carefully about how you’ll proceed with the
objective. It’s a fun way to pass some time on your computer, and once
you get the hang of it, it’s quite calming as well… for some strange
reason.
