Nothing challenging, just something fun or funny.

5. Do you have StumbleUpon?
It's a toolbar that you can download for your browser. You click on areas of interest and they are wide and varied, and then you just hit the "Stumble!" button. It will take you to random websites that are related to the interests you indicated, and you can also give it a thumbs up or thumbs down to the page to better assess what you like. It also keeps a history of all the pages you like so you can go back and look at them whenever you want.

It gets very mindless and kills LOTS of time.

6. Here's a trippy but very cool website showing various places in our state, Ticino.
Wait for each page to load, and then you can mouse around to get a 360° view.

Ticinese rustici (rustic houses in Ticono) near us: http://www.ti360.org/panorama/bellinzona/monti_ditto/monti_di_ditto_2.shtml

View of Lago Maggiore from Monte Gambarogno, up-mountain from us: http://www.ti360.org/panorama/locarno/neggia/monte_gambarogno.shtml
