Guess the Dictator/Sit-Com Character

October 12, 2007

I used to visit this site all the time at college, and I can only think of a few times where it got it wrong.

Guess the Dictator/Sit-Com Character
As the name suggests, you think of either a Dictator or Sit-Com character and answer questions as if you were that person. Eventually, the “game” will guess who you are.

Spinning Dancer

October 11, 2007

Click on the the following picture and see which way the dancer is spinning: Clockwise or Counter-clockwise.

This site gives the answer as to how the direction you perceive her spinning relates to whether or not you are left- or right-brained.

Interesting New Things

May 30, 2007

I have discovered the following sites and found them to be fascinating.

FreeRingers.net – This is due to Chris. I have never paid to use this site, and I’m not sure if he did. But! regardless, I can take any song I own and create a ringtone out of it and all it costs me is $0.25 since I don’t have any sort of media/internet package on my phone and I have to pay for the text message. When you sign up, you can specify 4 different phones to include on your account (but can never switch them).

Twango – I just found this last night. I’m pretty sure it’s going to allow me to upload music to the blog. It is allowing me to do this with my webcam:

I’m guessing this could be great. I’m not sure all that will be done though.

Summize – “Over 6 million user reviews on 1 million products – visualized, summarized, simplified, fructified.” Basically, the site is a product review site (obviously) but has color coding so that you know that if a movie, for example, received a 5 out of 10, it really means that 50% thought it was the best (10) and 50% thought it was the worst (0) compared to 100% thinking it was alright (5) or 50% thinking it was pretty good (7) and 50% thinking it was pretty bad (3).

Pickupedia – A Pickup Line Encyclopedia. For those who are single, some very good material. For those who are married, even better material. Pickup lines for guys. Pickup lines for girls. Successful pickup line stories. Unsuccessful pickup line stories. The ability to submit your own pickup lines. What more could you ask for?

Blue Dot – This post would actually be irrelevant if you all had it, since it is a way to tell friends what you find interesting on the Internet.

Project Implicit

February 16, 2007

This site (Project Implicit) is featured in Malcom Gladwell’s book Blink and is great for seeing how you subconciously perceive people (race, weight, gender, etc.).

Try it out. The results are always interesting.

btw… Blink is probably one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. If you haven’t read it… you’re missing out.
