- 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.")
- The Ex-Girlfriend Project

(Highly creative page. Cartoons featuring
the trials and tribulations of a someone laid

- Boing Boing
(This is an
ongoing web blog that has daily postings about life in general. You'll
be amazed, fascinated, and surprised at all the items of interested
that are posted to this site.)
- 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.")

sports journalists to exercise their adverbs, and a great outlet for
sports freaks to cry, moan, and rage.)

- 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.
