Random Cool Stuff
Below are some links to pages that I thought were randomly cool or coolly random. In no particular order, apart from the way they popped into my head.
Writer’s Den is an online collaborative writing site, where people can write endings to other people’s beginnings in lots of different genres and writing styles. Still in its infancy, but hopefully people will join in and add to this project. A place for shared escapism.. a bit of creative cyber space..
Chaoscope is a 3D strange attractors rendering software. …which in plain English means: this is a program which spits out really funky pieces of art based on mathematical equations. Like the one above.
Crime Library
A somewhat morbid site, where you can read about all sorts of crimes and criminals. Anything from Mary Bell to Charles Manson to Fred and Rose West.
Clearahill
A little snowboarding game I really like. Courtesy of – you guessed it – Clearasil™
Torah MP3
The entire written Torah read in Hebrew [and some Aramaic] available in MP3 format. The chap who reads – Abraham Shmuelof – pronounces each syllable very clearly, which is kind of handy, if you’re only just starting out learning Hebrew.
International Ice-Hockey Federation
The home of ice-hockey. A place to watch the ice-hockey world championships live online. Yes – there is a charge, but if you live in a country which refuses to acknowledge the existence of this fantabulous sport it’s well worth a look.
The Movement For Reform Judaism
The umbrella organisation for shuls [synagogues] belonging to my particular branch of Judaism. This is a great place to learn more about reform Judaism in the UK.
Zxing Decoder Online
Does exactly what it says on the tin; a very simple page which allows you to decode 1D and 2D zxing / QR barcodes found in images online. Zxing is pronounced “zebra crossing”, by the way.
