Random stuff
Apr. 6th, 2006 02:15 pmA couple of links:
1) Edit: Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chuckm -- One of those online puzzle / brain-bending games that can consume me for hours (I escaped this one just in time, barely).
(I need to re-find an online Flash game in which you're skateboarding down a street filled with stuff that you have to avoid - I used to play that one for hours while listening to an Andrea Bocelli CD when I was home on break from college. Or, well, maybe "need" is the wrong word... :} )
2) A symptom / diagnosis finding site that I ran into while looking up food poisioning information (because ofjikharra and keshwyn's ordeal).
Edit again: I will make the obligatory disclaimer that I am not a doctor, as far as I can tell the people who run that site are not doctors, and you should not rely on medical information on the web if you think you have a serious condition - go see an actual doctor if you can. I say this because I pointed my dad (a doctor, albeit a rather conservative one in some ways), and he was immediately skeptical about it. At the same time, I don't see a lot of harm in looking at the site, getting some information from it, and then running it by an actual medical professional, and the site really doesn't seem to be misrepresenting itself or saying that it's actually able to diagnose anything.
Also, I used to know of a site that contained lists of the songs played on (air) radio stations - you could choose a station, and it would show you which songs it had played and at what times. It wasn't specific to any radio station and I believe it covered a lot of stations, not just ones in the Boston area. I think the site name started with "i" or "e" (as in iPod or eRadio, not an actual word starting with one of those letters). Does anyone know of a site at all like what I'm describing?
