If you like Illusions, then you need to visit this site. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and plan to be there for a bit. There are a few Escher’s, and some others and it’s guaranteed to boggle your mind, or at least your eyes. While not as comprehensive as some of the illusion sites I have posted, this one is fun nonetheless. Come back and let me know which is your favorite.
The face recognition program at this site is very neat. Upload a picture of yourself, and it will scan your face and come up with a list of celebrities you resemble, more or less. There are some pretty neat genealogy resources here, too. Check out the “6 must-do Things on MyHeritage”, about halfway down the page for great fun.
If you enjoyed the oragami site I sent you to before, you will be happy today. I found the home page this time. Money Origami is probably the most fun you can have for just a couple of bucks. Have fun, and let me know what you make. With pictures, of course!!
I don’t get the chance to put many games on here, because frankly I usually don’t find games very interesting. There have only been a couple, most recently the Japanese Raft game. But bid4prizes is unique and different enough that I think I can justifiably call it a “neat thing”, so I am going to tell you about it.
Bid4Prizes is an auction game where you compete to be the lowest unique bidder. That means that in order to win, no one can have the same bid you have. They give you hints when you get ready to bid to help you, but that catch is that even after you bid, someone else can come along and bid the same amount. Then your bid is no longer unique, and you have to try again. It’s fun to play, and I’ve not seen anything else like it. AND! If you win, you only pay shipping and taxes to claim your prize!
Public Radio Channels from around the world. If you are a fan of public radio, you will enjoy this site. This site is neat for allowing you to catch your favorite shows on your schedule.
Speaking of schedules, I kinda fell off my blogging groove with this site, didn’t I? I’m sorry, ya’ll. I’ll try to do better.
If you are a fan of tv, you will like this site. Television Theme Songs has over 500 theme songs in MP3format. You can browse alphabetically and find find your favorites! It’s like being
“back in the day.” I listened to Gilligan’s Island and Smurfs and was young again, however briefly.
Trivia Challenge is a cool way to spend a few minutes of your day. You play until you miss three questions in a row. The questions have points assigned according to their difficulty. You can achieve your fifteen minutes of fame by making one of the high score lists–they have them for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly high scorers. My score of 595 netted me 0 minutes, LOL!
This is a site that will take you way back. RadioLovers.com - Old Time Radio Shows includes such vintage hits as Benny Goodman and Educating Archie. You’ll find dramas, mysteries and variety shows, as well as music and comedies.
They have Gunsmoke, ya’ll!
Today’s neat thing is for all you techno philes. UtterlyGeek discusses cool apps and cool products, among other things. You don’t have to be into the latest in computer hardware to enjoy this site, because it covers all kinds of new and neat stuff. Recent entries include magnetic primer paint as well as this monitor mirror. If it’s geeky, this site covers it, and that’s just neat.
Soap fans rejoice! Now if you miss an week or two of shows due to other commitments, you don’t have to wait for that weekly magazine to come out. Just tune your internet (hahaha) to Soaps.com to get your General Hospital Spoilers or your other favorites.
This site also has cast lists, histories, and spoilers for all the afternoon shows. I used it the other day to catch up on Days, which I haven’t watched in roughly 18 years, and it was great. The coverage for the shows is in-depth, and one of the show updates is written by a gal I know. Here’s the show list to get you started.
Today’s site is a quick read, unless like me, you are just dumbfounded by some of the items and have to sit and think a bit before you can go on. Interesting Real Facts will give you plenty to chew on for the day, several laughs, and an IQ point or two.
When you get through there, check out the pages listed on this page. There’s plenty to see on this site.
Caveat: this site is heavily slanted toward Islam.
This site contains 34 optical illusions, including a few Eschers, and some classics. You may or may not choose to visit this site when you are tired. I found on my visit that tiredness added quite a bit to the level of trickery. Number 26 is especially amusing late at night
