ON-LINE Student DISTRACTIONS AND Diversions

Very Short List: if you are lazy, don't want to spend hours on-line trying to keep up with what the next big thing is, this is the site for you. One a day e-letters featuring an ecletic mix of music, video, art, websites, books, photography, games, blogs, cinema or whatever strikes the fancy of the ultra young cyber hip editors of this New York city site. These are not paid ads but rather personal choices delivered in a flippant concise manner. Doesn't seem to create any additional spam. Sign-up here or not.

Play the Language Game: think you can recognize an accent from anywhere in the world. Watch and listen to a short video of someone reading from a poem and score points for every correct answer. Or submit a video of yourself to see if anyone can pick out a First Nation accent.

Pitch your own favourite on-line diversion or time waster! Fun, free, informative and clean. EMAIL SUGGESTION WITH A SHORT DESCRIPTION (so I don't have to spend my life wondering what you found so interesting about that website) SUBMIT
