Time Wasting Sites (TWS)

Fortune Cookies are one of my favorite things about eating at an Asian Restaurant, and I have a tradition of always taking the last cookie.  That has resulted in few great fortunes over the years.  Now I found this site, which creates fortunes for you on the fly, or allows you to create them and send them to friends.  Pretty cool!

I don’t know why I like this, but I do.

With my short vacation starting at 5pm tomorrow afternoon, I am spending the night before camping out at the office trying to get my major deadlines met. The only good thing about working really late, other than guilt free raiding of the office snack machine, is being able to jam my tunes. What do you do, however, when you don’t want to listen to *your* tunes anymore, and you want something fresh and tastey? Well, either Pandora or Last.fm will both feed your need! Following a post to Wil Wheaton’s blog, I’m a new member of Last.fm… and really loving the music. I’m doing a bit-o-techno-europe tonight, pretending that I’m a rave-bound data-crunching club kid, but without the glow sticks or X. Slow Train - Trail of Dawn is my song of the moment. Check either of them out!

Congress, in it’s wisdom, has changed daylight savings time. If you run Windows you’ll have to update your clock. Here is a link to the Microsoft tool I just used to update mine: LINKWant a clean desk, free from unsightly cables, routers, and external drives? Try this trick: LINK

We’ve all lost data to hard drive failure (if you haven’t…. ~he he he~ then you’re overdue). This was interesting, from Google, and sheds some light on hard drive death: LINK

Last, but not least, is the Dilbert Blog. Scott Adams is insanely smart, and cranks out all kinds of thoughts via this blog. If I can visit only one site a day, other than Flickr, this would be it: LINK

The website MyHeritage.com has you upload a picture of yourself, they uses dark magic to determine which celebrities you most resemble.  All I can say is that your expression makes all the difference in the world.  Apparently, I’ve got some celebrity heritage issues… (more comparisons after the link)
