Star
Wars ASCIImation is exactly what it sounds like. It is Star Wars but
in ASCII format. The scenes are surprisingly accurate. It is almost
scary how much time they spent working on this. There are different
scenes which you can watch or you can watch the whole movie. This
web site is worth a look. You will definitely be amazed.
Here
is a good web site for all of you space nerds out there. This is a
must see even if you have slightest interest in space and astronomy.
Hubble Site contains information about the Hubble Space Telescope as
well as discoveries, news, general astronomy information, and
pictures. The gallery is easily my favorite section, but you can
spend a lot of time in any of the sections. The pictures are truly
amazing. If you like Hubble Site then you will also like NASA's
Astronomy Picture of the Day site which I will post a link to.
Falling
Sand is a great time waster, especially for those of you who have an
artistic side. Actually, it is good for those of you who who like to
think that you are artistic as well. Four streams of different
colored sand are constantly falling, and you can alter the sand
using walls, fire, plants, etc. It is interesting to see how you can
mix the sand and make interesting pictures. They also have some
pretty cool screen shots of ways they have altered the sand. This
may not kill a lot of time, but it is definitely an interesting
place to visit.
The
Most Expensive Journal quickly puts your stuff to shame. They take
general objects and show you the most expensive one they can find.
An example would be the $200,000 hood ornament picture to the left.
The entries are very interesting to read. Who knew people would make
such simple things so expensive? It must be nice to have that kind
of cash laying around. Go ahead and check out the lifestyles of the
rich and famous.
Wall
Street Survivor is probably the best stock market game out there.
You can keep a permanent portfolio with real stocks as well as mini
game portfolios. Compete against others for a chance at some cash
and prizes. Outside of its real time stock quotes, Wall Street
Survivor offers several tools to help you develop your investing
strategy. There are stock screeners as well as the Wall Street
Survivor University. There are also forums and member blogs where
you can read what others are saying about the market. They also
offer a loyalty points system which gives away prizes if you simply
participate within the web site. This is a great place to waste
some time and learn about the stock market.
