[KansDem]

Now, where have I seen that cat before?...

[Electric Monk]

3. I don't know how usefull this facebook page is, though, really...

Here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?=743264506

I mean, really?

[okaawhatever]

25. I wonder if it's for folks who don't want to link their facebook page to their other accounts. nt

[Betty88]

4. thanks

I can seeing using throwaway email every now and then.

[arcane1]

5. Thanks! Some of those are really cool!

Funnily enough I visited one of those sites yesterday, when trying to calculate the days since I quit smoking

[tblue37]

6. #33: Gifprint for the win! nt

[Vincardog]

7. my bookmark is broken

[etherealtruth]

8. Not sure how many I would actually use ... but, a really cool link, nonetheless!

[bananas]

9. CamelCamelCamel is good even without email alerts. nt

[Ron Obvious]

10. Useful stuff, thanks!

I like the 10 minute mail and etymology dictionary particularly.

[kentauros]

14. I've been using the online etymology dictionary for at least two years.

I post links to it here every chance I get (like when someone mentions "words have meaning" only to not understand the root meaning of the words being used.)

Adobe Kuler looks interesting. Though I found this the other day that seems more practical (I already have books on color theory and compatibility) : http://colors.terrasus.com/color.jsp

And it's too bad people rely on GPS so much, because this is one fun site:
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/

[okaawhatever]

28. What exactly does the colors.terrasus.com website do? I clicked on it but don't understand. nt

[kentauros]

29. As I understand it, it's mostly for web designers.

But I use it for figuring out color combinations for clothing (fictional outfits and the like.) Plus, it gives me the hex, RGB, and CMYK color numbers necessary for use in graphics programs like Photoshop and Corel Painter

(The Adobe site does the same thing, only in less detail, and I found it more difficult to use and figure out.)

[okaawhatever]

32. Okay, great thanks. nt

[kentauros]

34. You're welcome!

[Lucky Luciano]

11. #11 sky scanner looks intriguing if it really works!

I can take last minute stochastic vacations!! Cool! I would do that once every couple weeks during the summer if the deals are good!

[progressoid]

12. BuzzFeed lists are ususally irritating and inane.

However, there are actually a couple interesting sites on that list.

[kentauros]

15. If you mean #3, "Fake Name Generator"

(#2 is the math equation-solving site) I could see using it to make fake FB accounts, or any other accounts where you need a full identity.

[kentauros]

22. It would likely only be against the law if you used it in some official manner.

It's not against the law to set up a fake FB account

[DeSwiss]

17. I had two listed there already.....

Here are four more I use regularly:

Because I have gotten some really bad ones lately.

[maddezmom]

21. We skip Spring down here and move right into Summer.

[kentauros]

23. Here's one for use around here:

Web Economy Bullshit Generator
"orchestrate frictionless deliverables"
"strategize collaborative metrics"
"disintermediate viral platforms"



And for those that need their own Print on Demand graph paper: Free Online Graph Paper

[pscot]

[kentauros]

26. Get up five minutes earlier tomorrow.

Problem solved!

[Logical]

33. Ahhhhh, someone need a nap? nt

[sharp_stick]

35. Don't forget the 5 or 10 seconds it took you

to type and submit that, then add on all the time spent checking the smartass replies to your lame reply and you're one hell of a lot closer to the end.

[Purveyor]
