PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPHY
If you think panoramic photographs are an invention of digital photography, you ought to take a look at this site. This collection, courtesy of the Library of Congress, contains over four thousand panoramic images of American landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits. Most are from the early twentieth century, and, of course, are in black and white. You can click on a specific section to view “Bridges,” “Canals,” “Beauty Contests,” plus lots more.

CLASSIC TV OUTTAKES
Do you remember live TV? If you do, you’ll enjoy these bloopers. Candid moments of actors, news anchors, and interview subjects flubbing on-screen will make you laugh (or wonder why that’s funny!) but bring back memories if you remember the program.
Check out the clips from "MASH," "Star Trek," "Mork and Mindy," and even former President Ronald Reagan. http://www.tvparty.com/embloutake.html
TOP SONGS OF LONG AGO
All you need to do is click on a year (1955 is great), and you will hear the top songs of that year. Choose from Blues, Caribbean, Pop, and Jazz, and just let it play in the background while you continue surfing. http://tropicalglen.com/
TABLE TENNIS
This is a fun little game of ping-pong. I was better at it than I thought I’d be. This is a site with lots of other games, some of which you apparently get charged to play. I didn’t check those out, but I think you’ll like the ping-pong. http://www.miniclip.com/games/table-tennis/en/
MUSICCOVERY
This is a hard site to explain, but I think you’ll like it if you try it. It’s an interactive Web radio that plays music based on your mood! Click on the site's radio tool, which is a graphed spectrum that ranges from Energetic to Calm vertically, and Dark to Positive horizontally.
Click to include or exclude specific genres, plot a point along the timeline, then sit back and listen to the music that you have "mapped” out. http://www.musicovery.com/
OUTLOOK EXPRESS BACKUPS
