•  Snap Judgement is an awesome radio show and podcast of stories told by people that call in with their stories or are recorded by the show's reporters. They are put to great soundtracks and it's really neat to listen to stories from so many different people.

•  Tasty is a YouTube channel of super short, easy to watch cooking videos. The videos range from frozen yogurt granola cups to slow cooker pineapple chicken to guacamole onion rings. You guys, I love food! :)

•  Here is the definitive master list of links to articles with lots of useful information for writers on everything from portraying sign language in dialogue to writing cliffhanger endings to describing ethnicity, plagiarism concerns, etc. etc. etc. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

•  This site has live video feed from a camera watching an Eagle's nest in D.C. These kinds of things are the reason that it is impossible for me to get anything done anymore. I am addicted.

• This Wind In The Willows Audio Book is free on YouTube and perfect for babysitting kids with cabin fever. Or just to listen to yourself. Also, the guy who reads it has a really cool accent and the whole thing is set to nature sounds. What's not to love?

• This short video about Human Nature was made by a teacher for special needs kids. Favorite quote, "Be kind to those who interact with you in a way you perceive to be abnormal."  We're all just looking for human connection. (Note: couldn't find a link to the video anywhere but facebook, you probably have to be logged in to watch.)

• Colour Lovers lets you create your own color schemes from scratch or from colors you like in digital photos. Super handy for painting. 

• This Minimalist Guide To Eating On A Budget is pretty much what I already do. Can we get a round of applause for deli rotisserie chicken yet? Super cheap and delicious/nutritious.

• Thrift Books is a website that sells secondhand books for really good prices. INCLUDING TEXTBOOKS, PEOPLE!! Also, free shipping for orders over ten dollars, so that's awesome.

• Duolingo is a 100% free website/app that teaches you a new language at whatever pace you choose, down to five minutes a day. There is also a placement test if you are already somewhat familiar with a language. It's very user friendly, and I highly recommend it.

•  Simon's Cat is a YouTube channel of adorable, hand-drawn, animated shorts about a fluffy cat who gets into all kinds of different situations. Sweet, simple, and super relate-able to all cat owners.
