DOO WOP HORSES

Wait for the entire screen to load up with all four horses and a fence in front of them. Then click on each horse. Make sure your sound is on. Re-click on any horse to make it turn off or turn it back on again. Somebody did some real wizardry of programming to coordinate this! Try clicking on the horses from left to right then right to left then just one or two at a time... Its fun and a good stress reliever. Have fun! Do them in random order for some weird songs.

CYBERTIMES NAVIGATOR

For more than 10 years, the Newsroom Navigator has been used by New York Times reporters and editors as the starting point for their forays onto the Web. Its primary intent is to give the news staff a solid starting point for a wide range of journalistic functions without forcing all of them to spend time wandering around to find a useful set of links of their own. The list is by its nature highly selective and constantly changing.   There are innumerable sites in this bunch, all the way from the Social Security death records to the National Enquirer! This is a good place to start looking for almost anything. Good time waster, too! http://tech.nytimes.com/top/news/

GET A REAL PERSON

Rather than wasting a whole day trying to get to a human being at a large corporation, try this useful site, created by Paul English. It has an alphabetical list of big companies and tips on how "to find a human". I could have saved 54 minutes the other day if I’d known about it then! http://www.paulenglish.com/ivr/

GOING DOWN THE CROOKED ROAD

Going Down the Crooked Road is a fun trip down Virginia's Heritage Music Trail. The website is an interactive version of the original series, which was first produced by the Roanoke Times. If you like real “county” music, take a trip down this "music corridor", and listen to traditional mountain music as it should be played. http://www.roanoke.com/multimedia/crooked/what.html
