Tick. Tock. Man, this day is going slow. Need to kill an hour, but can't log on to World of Warcraft for fear the boss will catch you? The pleasures of the Internet are vast and many, but it take a truly great website to become a time sink-- the kind of place that sucks you in, freeing you from your sad, dreary life. Behold, a world of semi-pointless pleasure!
- Google Patent Search: From an "apparatus for playing a board game involving political strategy" to a rather dubious anti-assassination device, it's like going to Circuit City and everything's on sale! Well, you have to build it, so I guess it's more like Radio Shack, but since when has Radio Shack been selling warp drives?
- Cribcandy: Turn your RC car into a floor sweeper, explore the world of eco-friendly modular carpet or just stare at shiny, pretty things.
- Colortherapy: Think about red and think about blue. It's not really that boring, Bowie.
- BattlestarWiki: This ragtag Wiki is in search of the ultimate knowledge of whether Baltar is a Cylon, who would have played Laura Roslin had Mary McDonnell turned down the role and just what happened to Boxey, anyway? Admittedly, this probably won't be much of a time sink if you don't watch BSG, but who doesn't? People who don't read The Modern Romantic, that's who.
Got any others?
