Daily Destinations

• I read Metafilter regularly. That's not to say I read every story... a lot of it is just silly, or annoying, or otherwise uninteresting. But sometimes they post some real gems that I wouldn't otherwise have seen.
• Google has become part of my brain, I think... its certainly an indispensable part of my "netsphere"...
• Amazon is a pretty central part of my netsphere as well... if I'm going to buy something, I usually check Amazon first.
• Damn Interesting doesn't have new content daily, but when they do post stuff, it is pretty damn interesting.

Funny as Hell

• Stuff White People Like. (Though it could probably also be called "Stuff Yuppies Like".)
• SImon's Cat
• May I take your order? Good to eat mountain!
• How to Destroy the Earth
• 6 pounds of ham
• Things that go blimp in the night
• Revenge of the Sith: The Abridged Script
• Making Fiends (a flash cartoon series)
• Rainbow Divider

Flash Games

• Planet Defender
• Amanita Design, creators of the whimsical Samorost and Samorost 2 games, plus a few others.
• Questionaut is another beautiful flash game by the guys from Amanita Design
• Quadradius is a 2-player game; it starts off kinda like checkers, but quickly becomes a wild ride as pieces capture orbs that give them all kinds of powers. The board often looks like a war zone by the time it's over. Fun game!
• Bloxorz, a 3-d puzzle game
• RSVP is a quirky 50's-deco-style card game; you have to match the colors of cards around the table.
• Microlife - help the little micros grow up and defend their colony. Cute!
• Acno's Energizer - addictive. I wish there were more levels (then again, maybe not...)
• Net - connect the blocks of the circuit using wires.
• Orisinal - A bunch of cute (but simple) flash games by Ferry Halim
• Telescope game, made by (of all things) a vacuum-cleaner company.
• Rusted Jacks, an incredible blackjack game by Steven Garofalo. He used to have an amazing website of dark fantasy art, but it vanished sometime in 2001-2002. He's not dead, though... he e-mailed me recently and said he should have a new site up soon. I can't wait to see it!

Other Games

• Kingdom of Loathing - an online game with minimal graphics and wacky adventures.
• Here is Alida, a Myst-like game.
• Bookworm Game (java)... Josh got me hooked on this. Then he told me the evil trick (spoilers!) to beating it, and I played til I had a million points. Then I was tired, so I quit. (Apparently since then they've changed the game so that the gold blocks have a limited lifespan. ah well.)

Cats

• Cats in Sinks.
• Juvenile felis catus

Miscellany

• How to Be Creative
• Gunkanjima Island, a deserted coal mine in Japan
• Essays about the Matrix (Reloaded and Revolutions, which I particularly liked.) Essays written by Brian Takle (mirrored here because wylfing.net was down for a long time...)
• How Stuff Works
• The Harrow Group's monthly Technology Report takes a look at new technologies that may change the world.
• Dom Nozzi's Urban Design Principles - the social cost of creating car-friendly cities instead of people-friendly cities.
• TinyURL - turn any humongously long URL into a short easy-to-paste one. Very cool idea.
• Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox covers web usability issues. always an interesting read.
• Some philosophy I like to read, when I start feeling too freaked out about life...
• Turn yourself into a South Park character.
• The Cynic's Sanctuary - author Rick Bayan wrote a bunch of columns that I found insightful and interesting. Unfortunately he doesn't write online much anymore.
• The now-famous singing horses

Foodie Stuff

• Tastespotting will make you hungry...
• Buckskin Orchard sells the most luscious Washington cherries, apples and pears, shipped direct when the fruit is in season (which, for cherries, is a very few weeks in the summer). But oh, are they good.
• If heaven has a grocery store, surely it must be like Central Market.
• Alton Brown, my favorite food nerd.
• Comfort Foods makes a fantastic Jalapeno Vegetable dip mix.
