VINTAGE NEWSPAPER ADS

Check out these old newspaper ads and especially notice the ideas of the future in them. It certainly hasn’t come true! But you’ll enjoy a trip back in time to check out these vintage newspaper ads from the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. http://www.lileks.com/oldads/

GOOGLE LINKS AND TOOLS

Everyone knows about searching on Google, but were you aware that it offers a LOT of other things? It will translate one language into another for you; provide images related to your search term; find up-to-date news about your search; discussion groups; maps and Froogle, which finds sites for the exact product you want to buy. Just go to Google.com and look at the list above the heading. Some of the new videos are off-color, but hilarious!

 

GOLF GAME

This is another of those silly little games one can waste hours playing. It’s harder than it looks, but I’m not a golfer. For you golfers (or ones that think you are)... This will drive you crazy and can be addicting. http://www.matchpractice.com/game

 

BEAUTIFUL RAINBOWS

Joyce Haubein sent me this site a while back. There are glorious rainbows!

this is another rainbow site you’ll like. http://www.sundog.clara.co.uk/rainbows/bowims.htm

MAZE GAME

This is great and takes a lot of skill towards the end so keep a steady hand. Apparently only 1 in 10 people are able to finish it – or so the site says. It needs sound and turn it up loud.

LIGHT HOUSE SLIDE SHOW

This site has more pretty pictures – this time of lighthouses.
