Whew...

Yeah, so I've been sick for a week and am exhausted after going back to school today, but my big brother complained that I haven't blogged for a while, so I've decided to dump out some of the links in my handy-dandy "To Blog" bookmarks folder...enjoy!

First up is the Ultimate Flash Face thingamabob. It's not really a utility, but it's interesting, and even though it's not a game, it's fun. My one complaint is that none of the facial features are girlish, except for the eyes.

Have you ever watched a movie more than once and you STILL couldn't hear that one line in the big scene? Well, just because you haven't doesn't mean that I'm weird. It doesn't mean I'm not, but it doesn't mean I am. Anyway, for all your misheard-line needs, try Drew's Script-O-Rama.

Ever since my brother told me about Newsbrew, I've been reading their comics each day. One that I'd never seen before is Pearls Before Swine. Definitely my new favorite...if you get a chance to read back strips, find the crocodile/zebra plot...you can't resist the crocodiles!

Here's another fun little diversion - TYPEDRAWING. (You have to click on the text to get to the actual content.) I don't have the patience to do it myself, but it was fun to browse through some of the artwork that others have created with just text.

Using Windows and hating it? For all those little annoyances that Microsoft likes to throw your way, I present to you Annoyances.org, a site devoted to Windows-related nuisances.

If you've encountered my brother at any point, you've probably proceeded to switch to Firefox. (How does he manage to make us do this stuff?) I for one am loving the switch, except for that little glitch wherein Firefox and Media Player had a fight and won't speak to each other. But anyway, for the curious among us, here's How Firefox Works.

Thank goodness Ryan left town last night, or I'd be in big trouble for telling you about Factbites, which seems to think of itself as the best thing since Google. It offers "meaningful, relevant sentences from every site in the search results". I in no way intend to give up my Google, but Factbites looks like it may be on to something. I haven't really gotten to try it out yet, but when I do I'll let you know how I like it.

So you think you're pretty smart, huh? Look at you, using both sides of your brain at once! Well, let's put it to the test...see how high a score you can get with this quick little brain game.

If you're the kind of person who has trouble saying anything but "yes", here's a few options just for you. 20 Ways to Say No

And last but not least, there's Area 404, where you can browse some of the interesting ideas webbies have come up with to spice up that annoying little "page not found" notification. Take a look, there's some great stuff.

Until next time...
