So, here are some links to sites that I like or find funny or useful or whatever.
They are in no particular order other than the order in which they appear.
| Site/Page | What? |
|---|---|
| Blue Ball Machine | Well, if you want something to look at for 5 minutes..... |
| Bored At Work | As the name says - basically a collection of good links. Better than these, for sure. |
| Java Asteroids | The atari classic you can play anywhere, without M.A.M.E. |
| Hack A Day | If you like messing around with things and taking them apart, this is a great site. |
| Biggest Diesel engine in the world | Yeah, I'm an engine geek. But this is ridiculous! Just look at the pictures! |
| The Death Clock | Always worth a visit if you're feeling morbid. |
| Hand Surgery | This is what I had done to my left hand. Lovely, innit? |
| Guess the Google | A great game - 20 pics from google image search come up, you have to guess what the word was. |
| WHOIS lookup | You can find out who owns a domain here - handy if someone controversial has been silly enough to use their own name.... |
| Tangent Media. | That's me, that is. |
| Safe Now | What to do in an emergency... |
| TV Cream | If you want to know anything about any classic TV program, you can find it here, plus nostalgia galore... |

| Reflections | I'm on level 23. It's been a busy week, what can I say? |
| Zidane Headbutt | Interesting Video analysis of the World Cup incident |

| Amusing Cat pictures | Yes, I know it's a bit sad, but I thought some were funny. |
| Hieroglyphics | Convert your name to hieroglyphics, if you should want to do so.... |
| How Motorways Work | If only everyone read this, especially middle-lane hoggers. Yes, that means YOU! |
| Kickups | Hours of fun to be had here. I got over 200 once, but I was having one of those days. You know, Kilroy, this morning, news, Neighbours, Doctors, etc,etc. |
| All about farts | Seriously - if you've ever wondered about something fart-related, it's here. |
| Suicide Note Generator | I found this while considering my own suicide one boring day. Happy/Privacy was my favourite. |
| Credit Card pranks | Do you always sign yours properly? This guy doesn't..... |
| The hall of douchebags | Think your band's photos are good or original, especially in front of a wall? Think again, bozo! |
| ASCII to Binary converter | If you want to confuse someone, send them a message encoded using this. Unless it's C3PO, of course. |
| Where's Waldo? | A great search - took me ages, this one. |
| Ferrari 312PB Model | A working model. Took the guy 15 years. Amazing. |
| Commercial Breaks and Beats | Look up music from adverts, and even buy it online. |
| Best Freeware | No, really. Saves you asking me for advice! |
| Jet powered beetle | Yes, a street-legal jet-powered VW Beetle. Why? No idea. Great! |
| A ferry for boats! | Giant "ferry" that takes boats inside to the upper level of a dam! |
| Jigsaw Zone | Jigsaws, online. Sounds boring. Incredibly addictive. |
| Chav Scum | Owners of the barried-up cars, and a section of society that should, at best, be sterilised. |
| Sliding block puzzles | I've tried these. Seriously. They're really hard. Even the 'introductory' ones.... |
| Annoying game | Annoying, but very simple and as addictive as heroin |
| Ebay! | A great way to waste time looking for (and buying) things you don't need. |
| The Ryan's Steakhouse Story | Ever been caught short? This guy's beaten your story, for sure. |
| Journo in an F/A 18 | Most amusing. 7G turns, anyone? |

| Damn Interesting | ... and it is, too! |
| Hybrid | Still a favourite listen, even after all this time. |
| Blinman.com | No idea how I found this, but it is quite amusing in places. The babblings of Nigel Blinman, apparently. |
| eBuyer | Cheap supplier of PC stuff - generally good, but their returns policy sucks ass! |
| Deal or No Deal | I love the TV show. And you can play it yourself. I won £250. Idiot! |
| Barry Boys | I'm not the only person who thinks that boying up your crappy car is a bad idea. Unfortunately the people who run this site are suffering from a severe case of 'internet god' syndrome...... |
| Maddox | He's right, you know. One of the funniest pages I've ever seen. |
