This is it.  The last post that will complete the 101 websites that may be worth seeing before you die.  Here you go:

  1. http://savethewords.org/ – Yes.  An interesting site which looks like a massive board with thousands of words posted on it.  The idea is to save words that no longer are used by adopting a word and spreading the word.
  2. http://notpron.org/notpron/levelone.htm – No. This is just a remake of some adventure game or something similar using the power of the Internet.
  3. http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-twitchy-online-game.html – No.  This is just another video game.  Video games generally can suck precious time from your life.  So, go on…skip this on.
  4. http://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~chinook/play/index.html – No.  If you like playing checkers against a computer, then maybe “yes.”
  5. http://enigmasand.com/ – Yes.  Neat experiment on sand dynamics.
  6. http://inception.davepedu.com/ – No.  Useless.
  7. http://www.xrez.com/yose_proj/yose_deepzoom/index.html –  Yes.  A good way to check out Yosemite.
  8. http://www.dearjohn.com/generate.php – No.  Simplistic.  Don’t need it.
  9. http://www.phonespell.org/phonespell.html – No.  Don’t need this site to come up with words for your phone number.
  10. http://stereomood.com/ – Yes.  An easy way to find music to your mood.
  11. http://moodstream.gettyimages.com/ – Yes.  Another way to help find the right music and image mood.
  12. http://lab.wx3.com/defender/ – Yes.  Neat little game and good background music to boot.
  13. http://www.asdfjklsemicolon.com/ – No.  This is a totally useless site.  It is as good as the previous site–twocansandstring.com (also made by the same person.  I’m not sure how it even made it to the Maximum PC article.  Go figure.
  14. http://www.twocansandstring.com/ – No.  Looks boring.  It’s a way to chat anonymously.  You can ask questions and answer people’s questions.
  15. http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/cgi-bin/seigmiaow.pl – Yes, if you are into cats and Hitler.
  16. http://kevan.org/proce55ing/zombies/ – Yes.  You need to see this one so that you know that if we actually had a zombie infection, how fast that infection would spread.  Fortunately there is no such thing as “zombies.”
  17. http://www.dontevenreply.com/ – No.  If you are like me, you have enough emails to read.  This site has email thread archives of some communication exchange.  I suppose it is supposed to be humorous and entertaining, but not in this format.  It feels too much like reading email for work.
  18. http://alpha61.com/primenumbershittingbear/ – No.  Absolutely no.  Don’t even waste your time clicking the link.
  19. http://marriedtothesea.com/ – No.  It is somewhat entertaining, but you could probably live not even visiting this site.  They seem to be focusing in selling you their merchandise.
  20. http://theoatmeal.com/ – Yes.  Very entertaining.  Some pages are explicit, so it may not be good for kids to see.
  21. http://www.wordle.net/ – Yes.  You need this site to get the gist of the underlying message of any written communication.  This site will create a world cloud from an input of text.  Try doing this on President Obama’s job plan speech (last 9/8/2011) and you’ll see that what stands out are the following words:  right, now, tax, jobs, Americans.
  22. http://htwins.net/scale/ – Yes.  Absolutely yes.  This site gives you a good perspective on how insignificant we are in the universe, and how massive it is.  If this doesn’t prove there is a god, nothing will.  This site has a slider that allows you to zoom in or out to see various objects with their relative size and scale.
  23. http://www.sealandgov.org/ – No.  This is just a web site for Sea Land.  If you are into royalty, this may be the site for you, but definitely not me.
  24. http://graphjam.memebase.com/ – No.  No big deal.  The site seems a bit busy.  It does have some interesting graphs.
  25. http://bit.ly/eBk8rq – shows all of the above links.  If you wish to save time trying to find all the links, this is definitely a site to see before you die.
I’m not sure about you, but I think there are other sites out there worth looking at before you die.  If you have one to suggest, please comment below.

Best Websites

This is part 3 of a 4 part post regarding the February 2011 issue of Maximum PC which touts 101 websites you need to see before you die.  In this article, I will continue to post my opinion regarding another 25 websites.

  1. http://hatsproductions.com/organtrail.html – No.  I would only recommend this site if you have time to kill, because this website page is basically a video game using graphics and technology based on 1970’s technology.
  2. http://machinarium.net/demo – Yes.  Even if you aren’t a computer game aficionado, you’ll at least appreciate the artwork and interesting puzzles here.
  3. http://www.playauditorium.com – Yes.  Great eye and ear candy for a different angle on puzzle games.
  4. http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/ – Yes.  This is a site which promotes data visualization, especially ones that look beautiful.
  5. http://tokyoplastic.com/dm.html – Yes.  Awesome animation and sound!
  6. http://experiments.instrum3nt.com/markmahoney/ball/# – Yes (just once though).  This is another Chrome experiment.  It illustrates how multiple browser windows can inter operate through the use of a bouncing ball.
  7. http://www.chromeexperiments.com – Yes.  You’ll need WebGL capable display card to view these visual array of artwork.
  8. http://www.kokogiak.com– Yes.  This guys has some interesting projects.  I won’t mention what they are.  Just go and check it out.
  9. http://seaquence.org  – Yes.  This is an interesting way of composing and presenting music.
  10. http://failblog.org – Yes.  This is one of the most well known sites (especially on YouTube).  It is very entertaining because it is so much like America’s Funniest Videos.
  11. http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/play/snake-oil-supplements – Yes.  This ought to help you decide which vitamins to get at Costco.  The visual data representation and the ability to filter on areas of concern make it easy to determine which one really is snake-oil.
  12. http://www.verbatim.jp/senshuken/ – Yes.  Very addicting game!!! Be careful.
  13. http://virtual-bubblewrap.com – No.  Not quite as good as the real thing.
  14. http://www.youtube.com/trivialpursuit – No.  Unfortunately I don’t speak Spanish.  So, this site is a definite NO.
  15. http://www.kongregate.com/games/pastelgames/the-trader-of-stories – Yes.  This is like reading an interactive comic book.  The game is an adventure.  There is no real time graphics, but between the sound and the awesome artwork, it makes for an entertaining play.
  16. http://www.yourethemannowdog.com/ – No.  Useless.
  17. http://www.willitblend.com/ – Yes.  This is an interesting way to promote an awesome blender.  I could use a blender like that.
  18. http://www.icanhascheezburger.com – Maybe.  If you like cats and burgers, just maybe you’ll love this site.
  19. http://amzn.to/7whhld – No.  This link appears to be dead.
  20. http://armorgames.com/play/4309/this-is-the-only-level – Yes.  You’ll be entertained by the game at this site for a little bit, but you’ll soon realize there is only one level in this game.
  21. http://periodictable.com/ – Yes.  I wish they had this when I was taking chemistry during college.  It sure would have given me a better sense of what all these elements were.
  22. http://firstpersontetris.com/ – No.  This is just a tetris game where rotating the falling block isn’t what you do.  Instead, you rotate everything else to make the block or shape land the way it needs to be.  It makes you feel like you are in space doing tetris in zero gravity.  This is very disorienting.
  23. http://www.kongregate.com/games/icylime/multitask – No.  This is a waste of time.  If you like to torture yourself with useless multitasking activities, go for it.  At the end of the day, it changes nothing, except maybe that you may think how uncoordinated you might be.
  24. http://www.conveythis.com/translation.php – No.  This site is a translation site.  You don’t need this.  Google has its own translation function.
  25. http://www.amiblind.com/ – No.  Totally useless.
Please check out the last posting on this subject matter.  It is the last 25 websites.
