Monday’s suck, ya know? Just try to get though your day and maybe things won’t be so bad tomorrow.
Another useless site, but it leaves a trail of fun emojis everywhere your mouse goes. It should keep you entertained for the next 57 seconds…
Maybe it’s time to one of those episodes where we look back at past episodes…
If you have an Android device (ie not iPhone/iPad) then this web page might turn out to be a lifesaver. You just need to be logged into the Google account that is connect to your phone or tablet, and the device needs to be on and somehow able to connect to the internet. Of course if the battery on your phone is dead, or it’s in airplane mode, you’re pretty much out of luck, but that one night I lost my phone in a parking lot, this tool turned out to be very helpful.
United States Geological Survey has a website with a lot of different toys, but the one really nifty aspect is its ability to show in real time the Earthquakes happening on the Earth right now, in real time.
Think you can create a better universe than God?
Wow, so this one is a little more advanced. Some of the demos that people have built on this site are truly phenomenal. If you would like to learn more on how to create a shader, there are some instructions on this site, but there is also this YouTube video here as well.
Find out how much power you’re missing!
Using Google Earth imaging, Project Sunroof analyzes your roof shape and local weather patterns to create a personalized solar plan.
Of course the real purpose is to get you set up with a solar roof installer, but you don’t have to go that far if you don’t want to.
Online games are fun, yo!
skribbl.io is a free online multiplayer drawing and guessing pictionary game.
A normal game consists of a few rounds, where every round a player has to draw their chosen word and others have to guess it to gain points!
The person with the most points at the end of the game, will then be crowned as the winner!
Have fun!

This is an interesting site that tries to assess implicit biases lurking beneath the shallow facade you call humanity.
From their about page:
“The mission of Project Implicit is to educate the public about bias and to provide a ‘virtual laboratory’ for collecting data on the internet. Project Implicit scientists produce high-impact research that forms the basis of our scientific knowledge about bias and disparities.”
* Due to a mistake on my part, this got published on Sunday instead of Monday… No worries though. You’ll just get six sites this week instead of 5!
Because you don’t have enough reminders that your life just keeps going down hill.
The basic idea is that you can write an email that will then be sent to you on a future day that you have specified. Unfortunately they do not have a way to do something far more useful like sending an email to your past self where you could reassure yourself that things get better, or warn yourself that a certain event might make things a whole lot worse… No, this lets you re-open old wounds or send a reminder that it’s time to check on the baby.
Oh, and there’s a huge banner ad at the top if you’re not using ad block.
Cheers! Have a nice weekend!
I didn’t read their terms of service either.
I guess they give you a break down on the terms of service for various websites. There is also a forum that I didn’t bother to check out, and naturally they have a browser add on that can tell you if any site you are currently on has a sketchy TOS.
It’s almost as fun as those plastic puzzles you had as a kid!
This is pretty self-explanatory. It’s a sliding puzzle toy that you can play. It is ad supported unless you use an ad blocker, and of course I always do.
