Cartoon Skeletons in Your Closet

You’ll never look at a cartoon character the same after visiting this site. Michael Paulus has taken the opportunity to study the underlying skeletal structures of some of the most common cartoon forms we’ve come to accept today.
As you can see from the photo to the left from his site, he’s gone to great detail […]

GotVoice

When I added VoIP phone service to our home phones via Comcast’s Digital Voice service, one of the options available to me was to be e-mailed and notified any voice-mail messages that were received on my home phone.
I’m not sure what happened to the service from Comcast, but it just stopped being available.
GotVoice brings that […]

Airshows and Squadrons

I attended the Indianapolis Airshow today at Mt. Comfort Airport, just east of Indianapolis. It was a beautiful day, but very overcast, that will come into play later.
If you’re an aviation buff, then you’ve probably already attended an airshow and know how fun they are to enjoy. If you’ve never been to an airshow, I […]

Fantasy Sports Sites

It’s almost time for the NFL Season to start and this year I’m actually going to participate in an NFL Fantasy League with some friends. Now I’m a huge football fan and love my Indianapolis Colts, but I just don’t know enough about the game to really understand how to manage my fantasy team better […]

HealthStatus.com

I had a scare recently with a gall bladder attack or passing a stone. A week later I finally got my family doctor to get an appointment scheduled with me and review some things. My doctor requested that I do some modifications to my lifestyle to stop my ever increasing weight, and even try to […]

A New Kind of Treasure Hunt - Letterboxing

Ah, Johnny Depp in a pirate outfit with Orlando Bloom, it doesn’t get much better than that does it? At least not if you’re a pirate lover, and if you’re a pirate lover then you probably enjoy a good treasure hunt as well.
The problem is, nobody buries treasures anymore unless you’re a spammer. Or maybe […]

Pando

Need to send large files to someone easily. Check-out Pando.com.
Pando is currently in beta and has got Web 2.0 written all over it, but that’s okay because it seems to do a really good job of accomplishing the task it was set out to do.

That loan from you brother’s wife’s sister who dated your best friends second cousin during in high school when you live in Nebraska?

Misplaced Bovines - a.k.a. Cowabductions

Hat tip to my friend Ben for making me aware of this one (a couple of more sites coming up as well).
Straight from Ben’s blog:
hilarious public awareness site documenting cow abduction and giving farmers ideas to disguise their cows to prevent abduction.
Of course this is quite the specialized site for visitors, but humor knows no […]

PC Magazine’s Top 101 Websites of 2006

PC Magazine has released their collection of the Top 101 Websites for 2006. They always do a pretty good job with this list, and although not many websites surprise me, or are ones I haven’t heard of, they always seem to remind me of some websites that are great and I’d just forgotten about.
