random links: orisinal.com: this site has a huge number of really great flash games. although a lot of them are a bit slow, the concepts are all great, and the games include super cute (oftentimes animal) characters. the pic above is from the game where you stack pigs on top of each other. a great source of whimsical ways to waste time. changedetection.com: keeps track of websites that don't update often. they'll check any page for you once a day and send you an email if it's been updated. strong sad's blog: hasn't updated in a while, but i like that it exists.
