Well, it's been quite a long time since I published the last Cool Site of the Day newsletter so you can imagine how many cool nuggets I have to share with you. TOO MANY. Seriously, I've got so many Web gems to share with you that I've decided to parcel it out slowly over the next few weeks. Just doing my part to reduce information overload (something with which I am afflicted but will not force upon you). SO....here are a few very cool things I've come across since the new year that have either made me very happy or have blown my mind. First, the mind blower...
=================================================

Cool Picks of the Web
=================================================
Some cool stuff we've found lately... so cool we have the urge to share!
The Flash Mind Reader
They should call it the Mind Boggler... good luck figuring this one out!
The Virtual Keyboard
VERY cool concept. No keyboard! The keys are projected on to a surface and a detection mechanism is used to detect the keystrokes. I wonder how it is ergonomically though?
What does it take to get ahead in filmmaking?
This Quicktime movie explains all (warning: there are some naughty words).
=================================================
Spyware Nuker
=================================================
Your computer running slower as time goes on? (mine is, but that'll teach me to use Windows ME). The reason for that may have to do with online advertisers adding spyware to your computer without your knowledge. "Spyware" is a common term for files that are installed on your system without your knowledge that allow companies to monitor your Internet activity. What they don't tell you, however, is how these files can be extremely dangerous to your PC and could cause your hard drive to crash. The folks at Spyware Nuker are offering every computer owner, including yourself, the opportunity to scan your computer to see how many "SpyWare" infections your PC has free of charge.

DVD Set Winner!
=================================================
Last edition we announced a giveaway of a new DVD box set of the complete first season of BABYLON 5 to our subscribers. And the Winner is Steven Miller of Ohio! (As far as we know, he isn't THAT Steve Miller, but you never know...)
=================================================
Who doesn't import Middle Eastern Oil?
=================================================
According to a random e-mail I received recently, here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
- Citgo
- Sunoco
- Conoco
- Sinclair
- BP/Phillips
- Hess
=================================================
Copy DVDs At Home!
=================================================
Deluxe DVD Copying Suite
Click the link above for the hottest NEW DVD-copying software, all you need is a DVD drive and a CD Burner. No expensive DVD-R drives or DVD-R discs. In fact, a DVD Burner CAN'T copy DVD movies! You'll be using nothing more than the same inexpensive blank CD-R discs you've used for music - to record movies!
* 30-DAY RISK-FREE TRIAL
* INCLUDES AWESOME FREE SOFTWARE (see link for details)
Customize your 'backup' DVD! Choose between common DVD features such as widescreen or fullscreen, subtitles, deleted scenes and more. Don't need the French language subtitles? Or the "stills gallery?" (is that the WORST feature or what??) Don't include them! Make the DVD you want. LIMITED TIME OFFER! Click Here!
DISCLAIMER: We don't recommend you use the Suite in conjunction with the Netflix offer because that'd be illegal. On an unrelated note, Peanut Butter Cups are delicious, aren't they?? Man, peanut butter and chocolate go GREAT together!

Cool Sites
=================================================

CrimeZZZ.net
Comprehensive encyclopedia of serial killers worldwide from A like ABEL to Z like ZODIAC plus info on famous classical crimes with references to films and books. Morbid, interesting and chock full 'o info!
Monobrow.com
Monobrow.com, celebrating the unity of your eyebrows!
eBaynham.com
eBaynham.com has John Baynham's offbeat, irreverent cartoons available on t-shirts and other products. Hilarious!! I can look at this site for hours.

Ripley's Believe It Or Not
Yep, THAT Ripley's! Great stuff on the site... believe it or not...
Backyard Jungle
This is one of my favorite Cool Sites in recent memory (it also won Cool Site of the Month). Children share and network with each other about their local environments. Encourages kids to explore the natural world around them and report their findings online through photos, drawings, and maps.
And here's two Cool Sites from "back in the day" ('Referring to a time period previous to the present, usually recalled with a somewhat blissful vision,' according to urbandictionary.com):
Juggling Information Service (CSoTD Oct 16, 1994)
The World Wide Web's Juggling Information Service, serving the Internet juggling community by connecting all of the juggling related resources that we can find. If you're a juggler, or want to learn to juggle, or just want some information on juggling, this is the place to be.
Slanguage (CSoTD Aug 02, 1996)
Somewhat similar to urbandictionary.com, Slanguage will teach you to talk like the locals in cities around the world!
