Call the Future
This website weirds me out a little. It looks like it's entirely designed for liars and preteens. Liars "trying to have a reason to get out of a meeting" are suggested to use this site. Preteens would just use it to get up to their usual Mean Girls tricks.
While it is weird, the concept is pretty cool, except that it would cost you and the person that you are calling money to do this. Especially the person you are texting, which is pretty lame, if you ask me.
It reminds me a little of the AIM prank bot that circulated while I was in my Sophmore year of high school. It would AIM the person of your choice with a single message from someone called "jen0098" or something as lame and you could basically make fun of someone for about 15 minutes that way before it messages them with the website.

Synonyms for words commonly used in student's writings
Lord knows I hate a crappy writer. I was forced to use a thesaurus as a 3rd grader and it did me a great deal of good. Everyone should be forced to come up with diffrent words for "red" and "said." Everyone.
Site 3.Mr. Picasso Head
This is pretty cute. It's like Mr. Potatohead, only you can adjust the size and color of the features randomly pasted on the "canvas." It reminds me of the scene in Toy Story where Mr. Potatohead rearranges his features in a very "Picasso esque" way, shouts "Hey look! I'm Picasso!"and calls Ham "uncultured swine" when he doesn't get the joke.
At left is the result of my artistry: Self Portrait in Picasso, by myself.
Site 4.
One Sentence- True stories, told in one sentence.
Like postsecret only with more writing finesse, and probably about as false.
Site 5.
yugop.com
Experimental flash media.
It looks like they were playing with physics engines or algorithms or something. Over my head, but interesting none the less.
04:CLAYGRID is my favorite.
Site 6.
Notice
Awkward. The face, however, is cute in a kinda disturbing way. Like emo oranges in many ways.
The rest of the site has some interesting art/photography that I just don't have the patience to view right now. Whatever, moving on...

Do you mind?
A cartoonist's commentary on the cultural takeover of commercial Christmas of the latter part of the year.
I hate listening to Christmas music for 2 whole months. Somehow it makes it less special than before.
Incidentally: do you feel that the first version of a Christmas song (or any song, for that matter) is automatically your favorite. I really don't like any other version of "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" that isn't performed by Nat King Cole. That dude is the king of X-mas music for sure.
Site 8.
Make Your Own Snowflake
A rather clever flash oriented snowflake generator. I like Ze Frank's version for Smirnoff a little better, but that just may be my very pro Ze Frank bias.
Really, what this site showed me is I can design some ugly-ass snowflakes. Also that I am inordinately tempted to make penis flakes and asscheek flakes. God, I am horrible.
I'm stopping this at 8 because I feel like it.
