FUN
- The Dullest Blog in the World- I like to check it from time to time and see what's not going on.
- Make your own Bush speech- I know it's childish. I thinks that's why it's so amusing.
- Mr. Picassohead- Steal fragments of Picasso's work to make your own art. Just remember, you're not Picasso. Your abstract art is stupid. Unless you're an artist.
- Generallyawesome.com-Fake news, movies, cartoons and other hilariousness. I highly recommend it.
- Neave.com- Cool looking stuff you can play with. It's great for mindless time wasting.
- Bureauofcommunication.com- Email your friends and enemies fillable forms and invitations for many occasions.
- Fallingsandgame.com- You pretty much get to play with falling sand. You can also make it explode and sometimes there are zombies. Sounds dumb, but I waste hours doing it.
- Angryalien.com- Watch bunnies re-enact famous movies in 30 seconds.
- Smellypoop.com- Everything you wanted to know about poop and farts. It's incredibly juvenille.
MUSIC
- Musicovery.com- A customizable web radio that finds music based on your mood. Suitable for angsty teenagers.
- Pandora.com- A web radio that only plays the music you like. It reads your mind.
- Can't find your nerdy music at Amazon? Try Caiman.com or CDconnection.com. Much of the time they are cheaper than Amazon.
- Muscitheory.net- Great educational site. There are a lot of theory lessons, ear training, a staff paper generator and you can download the whole site for free.
- rodeby.net- Free sheetmusic in PDF. It's music for church services-there's some good stuff. The music is very small, I don't suggest it if you have bad eyes.
- Christmascarolmusic.org- Free PDFs of carols. No modern crap. It's all old and public domain.
I'M LEARNDING!
- Howstuffworks.com- Unless you're scared of the physical world, this is great for explaining what's going on.

OPEN SOURCE
- Firefox Browser- It's on the homepage, but let me repeat: Internet Explorer really sucks. Please stop using it. Think of the children.
