A Fun Collection Of Things To Do On The Internet. :)

Games have always been a valable piece of human culture and the internet is no exception. In fact, the internet gives us a wide variety of things to do that could be considered games, playfully creative or fun learning.

We've been digging around for quite some time discovering interesting things to do on the internet. Some of what we found are mindless and great for contemplation, others are creative and a few will even teach you something new or even help you accomplish something unexpected.

A Walk In The Sand
Can't get to the beach? You can still have yourself a relaxing walk in the sand. :) How far can you go?
Art Pad and Gallery
This is a nifty little drawing/painting program. It is simple and yet versitile. Once your painting is complete you can choose a frame that goes with it. After that, you can hang it in the gallery, email to a friend, both or just delete it and start again. Highly fun if you like to paint but don't like to clean up after it. :)

Scribbler Art Toy by Zefrank.com

If drawing isn't something you are so good at, try the scribbler. You draw some lines and then start the scribbler. Once started you can change the color, thickness, transparency or scribbliness of your scribble. If it isn't turning out quite as cool as you thought, you can add lines mid-scribble or start over.

Try this: Get one started and then go make some tea. Come back in several minutes and see what you have created. :)

Word Games

Etymologic
The Toughest Word Game on the Web

In this etymology game you'll be presented with 10 randomly selected etymology (word origin) or word definition puzzles to solve; in each case the word or phrase is highlighted in bold, and a number of possible answers will be presented. You need to choose the correct answer to score a point for that question. Beware! The false answers will often also seem quite plausible, and some of the true answers are hard to believe, but we have documentation!

Oh, and in case you're wondering, the word etymology comes from the Greek word 'etymos', which means real, or true, and the -ology ending indicates that it's the study of, or science of. Put them together and you get the study or science of the real or true. Impressive, eh?
