Fun with fonts
www.dafont.com/en/
Struggling to get that perfect headline on your newsletter? Want to bulk up your Web page with hulking headline graphics and make it partially invisible to search engines? Then this place is for you. It's loaded with free downloadable fonts. Categories range from decorative to boring old fixed width. While many are free, be careful if you intend to use these at work, as some are free only for personal use. As a bonus, it works with Windows and Macintosh computers.
Artistic expression
TheMonsterEngine.com/art.html
This site was created to plug a book of the same name. But even if you're not interested in buying it, check out the art. The idea is to take a kid's drawings (monsters, superheroes, etc.) and turn them into full blown adult-created art. It's brilliantly goofy, and I think you'll agree the creations are extremely well done.
A worldwide how-to manual
wiki.ehow.com/
Using the same software written by St. Petersburg-based Wikipedia, this site hopes to build the world's largest how-to manual. Recent entries include how to make martinis, how to switch from Yahoo mail to Gmail, and how to perform the Balducci levitation. There's a writer's guide on the home page if you want to share your particular brand of genius with the world.
A brain backup
geekinformed.com/content/view/229/2/
One only can hope the terrible state of computer backups has reached a better place by 2075. Some big thinkers in the United Kingdom are pretty certain that the average Joe can essentially download his mind to a computer by then. Perhaps reboots, crashes, corrupt files and hard discs that go bad will be a thing of the past by then. This article explains all.
Here's the beef
www.aHamburgerToday.com/
Sites like this make me fall in love with the Internet again and temporarily forget my mail server processed 900 spam e-mails recently. This is a blog dedicated to the humble hamburger, and the editor's passion for the subject is apparent. Recent content looks beyond our shores and considers Vietnam and the United Kingdom. It is grilling season, and you'd do well to bookmark this one.

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
