While some are more metaphysical in nature, others are quite personal. Maybe sports are your bag?

Web Graffiti sites in their various forms can be a fun way to waste time, or to anonymously get something off your head that's been driving you around the bend, or to just post lots and lots of strange and silly pictures, poems, or just about anything else that comes to mind...and then successive visitors to the site can do one of three things: leave it as it is, erase it completely and put their own somethings there, or alter it in some way all their own. Metababy has been around providing a venue for perpetually alterable content for a while but is currently undergoing some sort of restructuring and the proprietor is being Very Enigmatic about the reopening date. This is the perfect opportunity to take your rampant Instant Graffitification urges to The Vortex Asynchrone, or to Sketchzilla.

Kaliber 10000, the "designer's lunchbox", is just so well-done it scares me. This webzine created by two young Denmark artists and their many talented friends occupied my teensy attention span for longer than an hour...current content includes a huge archive of desktop screenshots, a Flashtoon called Cellular Automata Man and a sort of übermetaphorical subway station.

Funky URL is a program to convert URLs into something really funky! It takes the hostname and converts it into a 32 bit integer, and the rest of the url into those funky hex thingies.

For the last two years, whenever I had a burning question conceivably answerable via the Web, I turned it over to the ever-servile info-butler named Jeeves. Though friendly enough, he's nevertheless still artificial, and thus can't give your question the special touch of personal attention. But now there are sites where you can get your answers from real live people via email...delivered in a timely manner, free of charge. Try NoWonder for your tech support questions: queries are answered about hardware, software and all things connecting them. Abuzz will take your computer questions as well, but also aims to provide answers to questions dealing with a variety of topics related to working, playing and living, and the world in which we do these things.

Etxtreme serves up "your daily info breakfast" via an odd little email list. It's essentially a new form of data mining...a sort of big-picture analysis of huge sections of web-space. The output sample is somewhat perplexing upon first glance, but this press release should help to clarify things a bit. And once I saw the list of sources that Etxtreme sifts through, it seemed interesting enough that I signed up for the mailings.

The Proxomitron is a nice little web proxy for Windows that allows you to sanitize your browsing experience in myriad ways. Kills banner ads, popups, animated gifs, etc via a nifty rules-based interface. Also allows manipulation of headers and cookies on the fly. Great stuff, but you'll wish you were colorblind when you see the garish UI.
