Times Tables

So, TIME magazine's Best 50 Websites 2009 makes for interesting reading. Included are several foundation sites of popular web-usage; the kind that have already grown into verbs (twitter, skype, google, facebook). It's good to see Fora TV getting a well-deserved mention ("Whoever said television makes you stupid never saw Fora TV"), along with the darling etsy ("the long-haired, Birkenstocked love child of Amazon and eBay") and the fab microlending kiva. And from the ever-hypnotic BabyName Voyager to the new kid on the block - Wolfram Alpha - this year's list offers a decade's worth of fun and exploration.

However, here's one from last year's list: COLOURlovers.com does exactly what is says on the tin - it's a place for pretty colours, shapes, patterns.

It's pretty addictive.

Time to disconnect and get back to work :-)

Thanks for the warning! For someone with my attention span, this little collection of delights reminds me of the opener (I'm sure I didn't watch much more than 20 mins of the thing) of a horror movie (was it Hellraiser?) where the guy opens this Pandora's box thing and is suddenly pulled in many many different directions....:-)
