While I'm Thinking about It...

Panoramas
Stunning panoramic photography of some of the world's most beautiful/breathtaking locations including Venice, Machu Picchu, the Damascus Mosque, etc.

Yahoo! Answers
OK, most of the stuff here is inane, but the site can be addictive. I warned you.

Baseball Reference
The new season is just around the corner, and baseball is really the only sport worth considering. Baseball Reference provides all the statistics any fan could want. Set aside an hour or two before going to this site.

Insider Higher Ed
Interested in news about higher education (and who's not)? This is a free site that competes with the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Dilbert
You can find the last month of the Dilbert cartoon strip, but make sure to also look at the Mission Generator under Games. You'll never look at a mission statement in quite the same way again.

WorldCat
If you want to know which library near you has a particular book, check this site. What do you mean you never use libraries?

Cliff's Notes
Does your son Jake or your daughter Kimberly have to read one of the big fat books by Charles Dickens, or, heaven forbid, Milton's Paradise Lost? Give them a head start by checking out Cliff's Notes. Yes, it's the same one you used in high school.

TED Conference and Kodak Video

TED Conference
I recently came across an article about the TED Conferences by David Pogue published in the New York Times on March 15th. Each of these conferences brings together a thousand thought leaders to hear speakers such as Al Gore, Dean Ornish, Ray Kurzweil and Malcolm Gladwell. The TED people have been kind enough to make many of the talks available on the Internet.

Kodak
On a more humorous note, Kodak has apparently placed a video on YouTube that both pokes fun at their own reluctance to get into digital photography and hints at the company's plans to jump in to digital now and revolutionize the field.

Take a look at both of these.
