Web site of the day
Word Spy is a site I find myself visting once a week to see what's new in world of worlds. Most of the time I've already see it or can figure it out, but every now and then I learn something (either about language, other peoples perceptions of the world, or just how geeky I truly am). Viewing by Subject is fun too!Google Glossary (would that be Googlary?) is almost in that category of fun / useful.
