THE ROUNDUP
http://belarr.com/bakercat/
The adorableness of cats can never be underestimated.
Their curious nature is hypnotizing to any kind soul and makes the strong weak in the knees, especially when viewed in a video format.
This site is pure cuteness, a lovable cat makes dough endlessly as you watch uncontrollably.
The site includes a helpful timer so you can be amazed at the sheer amount of time you spend looking at the baking cat.

Have you ever wanted to swim with salmon?
Feel the numbing of the cool Alaskan waters as salmon leap up stream and swim together?
While the site does not include this it does include an interesting experience to explore.
The depth of the interaction is shallow, but allows the subtle accent of being able to drag around the salmon to get the ever important dramatic angles.
However this is perfect for those who wish to watch as herd of salmon float mysteriously in a florescent-color-changing environment.

Checkers is for certain a difficult and masterful game of skill and preconception, constantly looking for opponents weak spots and mistakes.
If that is too complicated for you, try this site.
The site allows all of the complications of checkers into an automatic experience where the computer challenges you to move first, and think later.
It is interesting to see how the computer plays itself, its all completely random with the computers constantly adapting to each others moves, making an interesting show.

The need for translators is a constant problem.
So many Spanish essays have perished because of horrible translation software.
Now there is a translator that purposely translates words poorly.
Simply insert a phrase or sentence then choose your translation engine then translate as many times as you want.
The end product will be completely different from what you started with.
For example, insert “You must not commit adultery” and end up with “Thoust needs potato” 35 translations later.
Ok, maybe not useful, but entertaining.
