TestMyNet lets you test your broadband Internet connection to see if you are getting what your ISP claims you are supposed to get (and what you are paying for).
It lets you test both your upload speed and download speed.

Most of the spam that I receive is from spambots that got my email address off some website (including my sites).
In order to decrease the amount of spam that I get (while not removing my email address from my sites) I created the JavaScript encrypt mailto code.
What you do is fill out the form, copy the JavaScript code that is generated for you, and paste it in your HTML page (wherever you want the mailto link to appear).
When you view the page in your browser you see a regular mailto link but if you view the source of the page (which is what the spambots "see") you see some weird JavaScript code (that does not even resemble a mailto link.
Hopefully this will reduce the amount of spam that I get...

Now here's a way to start driving with style: the Porsche for kids.
This thing looks absolutely stunning (I wish I could get one for myself :o).
This sure beats riding around on a tricycle.

Here's a trick for the math genius inside you.
Using this easy method you can amaze your friends and instantly extract the cube root of a number.
Once you master this trick just ask somebody to cube a two-digit number on a calculator and give you the result and you'll be able to instantly tell them the original number.

Just like some software programs have different skins that you can apply in order to make the program look different, this company makes skins for everyday things.
They have skins for computer stuff (like your computer case, computer parts, and mouse pads) and for other items (non computer related) like skins for your refrigerator and other household appliances.
I'm surprised that they don't have a skin for your dog ;o).

Now here's some amazing Photoshop skills.
Check out how this drawing evolves step by step from a very basic sketch to a almost photo quality image.
If this is real then it's truly amazing.

Some people might say that Cola is addictive and this may just prove that.
For about 30 years Ghana has earned a reputation for the world's most colorful and imaginative coffins. So I guess that the Cola coffin is not that unusual there (it's just something in our twisted western minds that finds it odd).

I've never seen such vivid color photos from the 70s let alone from the 40s.
These photos are of Chicago in the 40s and offer a new perspective (for me at least) on that era.

www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.com/ is an actual domain name!
It is the longest single word (without hyphens) .com domain name in the world and was registered on October 21st, 1999.
This Welsh town actually exists and its name translates as "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave".

BugMeNot is a site for bypassing compulsory web registrations.
What it does is give you user names for different sites that require that you register before you can use them.
For example if you want to read an article in the New York Times web site you need to sign up first.
Instead you can use one of the several www.nytimes.com login names from BugMeNot and save yourself the hassle of signing up at nytimes.com.
You can also add logins to BugMeNot in order to let other people use them.
This service is pretty good especially since many sites require that you sign up even though it does not benefit the user in any way.

Yarmulkebra is the perfect accessory for the modern Jewish woman.
There's the Bat-Mitzvah style, Boobooshka style, and sports style
The prices seem a bit steep ($55), but I guess they're worth it...

This site is dedicated to American package designs from the beginning of the 20th century.
It has photos of packages of many common products like Wrigley's gum, Crayola Crayons, Lipton Tea, Jell-O, Heinz Ketchup (don't worry the bottle is empty :o), and box of Band-Aids.
It's cool to see how some packages have totally changed over the years while some remain pretty much the same.

The geeks are at it again:
The latest geekification is the Star Wars car.
This dude modified his car to look like something out of Star Wars.
Complete with cannons, blast marks, and even an R2D2 co-pilot!

Forget getting a cool looking iBook, get yourself a Pokemon laptop.
You're sure to be the most popular kid on the block with this gadget that actually closes with a zipper.
