On this website, folks can track paper currency (US and Canadian dollars) as they circulate around the US. You enter a few numbers from the bill, mark it with a stamp (as at left) or hand write a note to let people know to register the bill on the site, and go spend it, hoping someone will register a "hit" for your bill. Pretty awesome, and kind of fun when you find bills other people have entered and you can look up where it's been. The website is a little clunky (though it has improved a little over the years) but it's pretty entertaining. Requires registration, but it's free.

Background Maker

Here you can make your very own designs that can be used for website backgrounds, desktop images, etc. I have a lot of fun just playing with the tool when I'm feeling artsy-bored. Beware: while it can be therapeutic, it's also rather addictive!

Wow. Just... wow. I didn't even know people MADE these. But then I guess any excuse for cake is a good one, right? hehe

RATHER addictive. Sign up, create an account, send some postcards, and get some back from people all over the world! Since I collect postcards this is a pretty darn awesome site for me. :)

Lots of cleverly-written stuff here.
Good when bored or in need of inspiration.
English major or literary nerdiness a plus.
