Some useful websites for you to surf...

I think I'd consider myself a pretty seasoned internet user. As such, I'd like to share. Here are some really useful websites to enjoy:

Pixlr Online Photo Editor

It's like your favorite photo editing software, online (cough photoshop cough). It's amazing what can be fit onto a browser now-a-days.



Another online paint program. This one is more geared towards art and painting, the other is more geared towards photo editing. 


50 Air Traffic Control Audio Streams

Bored? Want something to listen to? Why not the Air Traffic control tower at your favorite airport? Why? Why not? Does this description only have questions? Yes?

The Sixty-One

Perhaps this is a better site for listening to music. I'm not in love with it, but it's a cool looking website. It'll pop you into music you've probably never heard of.



Need some filler noise to make a distracting work environment quiet? Here ya go. I'm partial to the oscillating feature when the kids next door are throwing themselves against the wall. 


Alicia and I have fallen asleep to this storm more times than we care to admit. It's the most peaceful thing on the internet. 


Ninite Easy PC Setup

This is a great website for introducing you to popular software. If you're curious what kind of free anti-virus software is out there, this'll let you select what you'd like to try. Even better, you download it all at once. I'm using this every time I clean a computer.

List of common misconceptions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This will take you a long time to read through. Save it for Friday night when you've got hours to kill.


So you spent Friday on Wikipedia, spend Saturday night on this website. You'll spend hours going link by link. 


MIT OpenCourseWare

Got even more time to blow? Why not follow along with a course at MIT? They don't offer everything, but more than enough to teach yourself some subject. Hey, why not try Calculus?

Kuku Klok

Need to wake up? This'll do the trick, provided you sleep near your computer.

Pipl

This is how I usually stalk someone. It's got a lot of links that try to trick you into paying for a premium person search, but it also scans a lot of the internet looking for someone's name, email, or internet nickname.

Retail Me Not

I check this website before buying something off the internet, no exceptions. Occasionally I'll even get free shipping.

Zombo.com

You can do anything here. Anything at all. The only limit is yourself.
