Two new favourites
Right now I’m combining two loves - one new and one old, or at least old-ish. The old-ish one is, of course, the British Broadcasting Corporation’s website. The BBC website is just pretty incredible - combining news, weather information, games, educational content for the kids, and that’s before you even mention the BBC’s iPlayer interface, which basically lets you watch or listen to pretty much all of the BBC’s radio and television output for up to a week after it’s been broadcast, or sometime even longer if we’re dealing with a complete series. It’s simply the best of all the British media station websites - although the Guardian newspaper’s is pretty awesome too. Right now as I write this I’m also watching the French Open final (Nadal is winning but Federer playing well in the final set)…hours of fun.
My other favourite site at the moment is a thing called StumbleUpon, which basically adds a button to your browser which takes you to a random website based on themes or keywords that you can set yourself in advance. As a little test just now, I clicked the StumbleUpon button three times and caught - a cool picture of some pavement art; a YouTube clip of a band who seemed pretty good; and a game in which you had to stop sheep running away from a field by clicking the mouse. And brilliantly, the last one was hosted on the BBC website. Whatever you set up is fine - you could probably just set it up so you were getting pictures of metal packaging - but it’s good random fun!
