5 Sites That Make Me Smile

This week I'm tooling around the country, wreaking general havoc wherever I go. Okay, so really I'm in Seattle for a friend's wedding, but hey, it's a good time and I'd like to share the smiles with you. Check out some of my favorite sites . . .

One-Star Book Reviews
Sure, my books have been dissed by grumbly readers, but so have the greats, and this site has great 1-star reviews of classic books. And nothing is sacred. Even the Cat in the Hat takes a hit.

Silk
An interactive art generator. Just squiggle the mouse around and whammo, you're a Picasso. You can also change the settings to try different colors, mirror techniques, or spiralling. And if you hold down the cursor, it keeps on designing.

Koalas to the Max
Not only is this another interactive art generator, it's also a hypnotizer, super-stress reliever, and possibly a portal into an alternate reality. Okay, so really it's a big circle that splits into a bajillion others as you move the mouse around, but what the heck? Why is this so calming? Ditch the pyschotropic drugs and just go to this site.

Pointer Pointer
This one's interactive, but it's got nothing to do with art and everything to do with a pointer finger. Just hover your mouse anywhere on the screen and shazam! A photo pops up with someone pointing their finger at the exact spot you chose. Yeah, it's stupid, but in a highly entertaining way.

Coldplay Turtle
Speaking of entertaining, turn your volume up and watch this YouTube. Could just be my twisted sense of humor, but this one makes me laugh every time.

Anyone here brave enough to share some of your favorite sites? Paste a link into the comment section and I promise I'll visit them. After all, I am on vacation.
