Spore Cubes

Bored? Waiting for an important e-mail? Waiting for an instant messenger buddy to return to their keyboard? If so, here is a neat little game for you to play while you wait, or just to fill time, hey you can even play it just for fun. It’s called Spore Cubes.

The object of the game is not to have any blocks left. You click on matching blocks and they disappear, the stack changes and you’re on to find your next set.

It has two levels of difficulty- Easy and Hard. The difference between the levels is the number of colors you have to match; the hard level has more colors.

Now I have to go play some more Spore Cubes, I’m already addicted to it. Enjoy!

A few days ago I ran a website that would tell you what any acronym means. That was a great source for some of you.

The rest seemed to be looking for “Internet Lingo” rather than acronyms. Never fear because today’s cool site is nothing but internet lingo.

So before I have to GTHTGTTA, head on over to today’s cool site.

How long have you been on the internet? Probably not as long as Yahoo or even Microsoft has been. If you’d like to take a step back into the past, visit today’s cool site so you can see what a certain website looked like.. Say.. 5 years back.

For example, take a look at Microsoft.com back in 1996 compared to what it is today. It’s amazing how websites transform from something simple to complex sites.

Even better, pull up a search for worldstart.com and see what it looked like back in 1998. Neato.

If you can’t find a certain website, then you can always add it to their database.

Don’t you hate it when you lose your money? You need it don’t you? I’m sure you want every penny you can get. Did you know that you could have hundreds or even thousands of dollars to your name, and you might not even know it?

As luck has it with me, I don’t because I already checked. Go figure. With today’s Cool Site you can do the same. Who knows, maybe you have $200,000 but you just don’t know it.

Oh, and if you do have a lot of money to your name and you find out through this site, please make checks payable to Jonathon M. Reese...

Gotta go rodeo!

If you’ve been to a rodeo you know the excitement involved, even just sitting in the stands watching Cowboys and Cowgirls put on their best shows to pay the bills or to have some fun. If you’ve never been to a rodeo, this is a great website to learn about it and to hear the truths about the myths out there.

Rodeo Network has lots of interactive features as well as an extensive and ever growing database of rodeo events nationwide throughout the USA. So Cowboy or Cowgirl Up and get up and get on over there!

Wanna Race Your Mower?

How fast can you mow your yard with your lawnmower? 5mph? 10mph? How about modifying it so that you could mow at 35-40mph? You could get a lot of mowing done with those speeds for sure.

Another thing you could do is race with them. Tell your friends to beef up their lawnmowers and start holding lawnmower races. Check out today’s Cool Site to learn all about lawn mower racing.

Playing With Doppler

Have you ever wanted to check out Doppler radar maps but missed them on the news? This cool site gives you a map of the US and you can click on a button and see the Doppler radar live.

Who knew the internet could be so handy?

Got Acronyms?

BYOB ASAP and use TCP/IP to connect to a DNS… or something like that. Some of you may have no idea at all about what all those acronyms mean. I do because I’m smart.. ok ok.. I’m lying.. I looked some of those up on today’s Cool Site.

You can pull up a search for ANY acronym in the world and it’ll bring up its meaning, or several other possible meanings. So take this RSVP and get over there ASAP.. SOLDIER!

Did It Happen To You??

Do you have an unusual fear of doctors? Do you have voices in your head? Have you lost time and have no idea how or why? If so, congrats my friends, you may very well been abducted by aliens!

This cool site gives you 58 common indicators of whether or not you have been abducted by aliens. Do you suppose Fox Mulder from X-Files had anything to do with this list? Of course not, because he’s just an actor. As far as I can tell, this website is extremely serious about them too.

Wacky Uses

Have you ever wanted to know what you could do with certain household supplies such as Baking Soda, Mr. Coffee Filters, or even a Slinky?

This website has a great compilation of household supplies and a list of wacky things you can do with those supplies.

Hmm, now I can take those Wilson Tennis Balls I have laying around and use them to fluff the down in my jacket next time I throw it in the washer. Who knew?

On This Day...

I thought this website was cool (worthless, but cool). You can enter your birth date and find out how old you are compared to famous people. It also will tell you about how old you were when certain world events were going on.

For example, I’m only 2 months younger than our Current Presidents daughters, and I was only about a year old when Apple introduced the Macintosh computer. Oops, I think my age is showing...

Make A Movie

Have you ever been to a website and seen a cool Macromedia Flash intro?
Those can be really hard to make. I know because I've tried making one :-)

I've found a website which will allow you to create your own little
"Flash" style movies. Although they only give you templates to work with,
it's still worth checking out and playing with.

You will need Flash Player 5.0 to use it. If you don't, Digitalfilms.com
provides you with a link so you can get it. Have Fun!
