In the absence of time or inspiration, here, for your continued delight, is a small collection of some of the best bits of the web I've seen recently and treasured for y'all.

Useless information
I ♥ useless information, and this site sure lives up to its name. Quite therapeutic; you can learn without having to take anything in.

How to help someone use a computer
Friends and family will take great delight in the knowledge that I plan to study and digest this advice.

Check your typing speed
I got about 65wpm on the first attempt, but let me have another go...

Birthday calculator
Tells you all sorts of stuff about your birthday, including probable date of conception.

Cursor kite
I know, I know, I'm a geek, but do us both a favour and click the link: I dare you to tell me it's not a teensy bit cool.

The camera does lie
History of the early days of manipulating photographs and daguerreotypes to show scenes different from how they appeared in front of the lens.
