Help! I need an interesting diversional website that is non-political

[ashling]

I am just so sick of the greed, avarice, hate, greed, deceit, ugliness, greed, lies, selfishness, conceit, and, oh, did I mention greed that more and more seems to be what makes up life on earth.

3. Try this.

Leads to all kinds of quirkiness....

http://www.stumbleupon.com/

and for more intellectual, try....

http://www.ted.com/

For learning about places in the world in a graphic way, try...

http://gigapan.org

Just for starters.

Also, just type 'randomness' or 'random websites' on google.

Good luck!

10. +1 for ted.com

Lots of cool lectures on diverse subjects, including a couple by Al Gore.

I also like the National Geographic web site. One can spend hours just going through their desktop wallpaper photo collections.

Or, play around with a kaleidoscope: http://www.zefrank.com/byokal/kal2.html#html

(He has other games, too. See the sidebar on the upper right.)


On edit: A newer, spiffier version of the kaleidoscope here: http://www.zefrank.com/dtoy_vs_byokal/index.html

11. KiteCD Educational Resources

My wife started this site on 1 Jan 2000. It had been hosted on AOL until 15 months ago when AOL just shut off all of the hometown pages without warning. We're rebuilding it and have a lot of the material back up but there is still a lot that needs to be restored. The last time I ran a link checker on the whole site (before the AOL shutoff), there were over 5,000 external links.
