An artist named Shawn Feeney is creating composite facial drawings using the faces of best friends, and eventually he plans to create one drawing that's a combination of all the faces.

The images he's created are incredibly entertaining, and as each new set goes up (he only has 19 now), it heightens my anticipation for the final sketch.

I first heard of the Walker Bay boats on Craigslist and promptly fell in love. The 8 series is small enough for me to lift on top of my car, but big enough to hold two people and a dog. The perfect little boat for cruising around the bay near our house.

It's a little expensive, so I mainly cruise boards looking for used ones, but I'm also planning to ask Santa to stick one in my stocking. ;) For now I'm content to have it high on my bookmark list.

Several months ago I heard a song on a commercial and looked everywhere online trying to find it. I finally did at SplendAd.com, a website dedicated to music that's on commercials. Didn't know there was such a thing, right? Me neither, but it's a great idea and it saves me hours of searching.

They have several years' worth of information, and it's constantly being updated, so it's a great resource when you really need to know!

Honestly, I don't even know how to explain McSweeney's, but I've had McSweeney's Recommends bookmarked for ages. It's hysterical and loads of fun and weird and just everything you could ever want in a website built for wasting time. :)

Every time my boyfriend sees this in my browser he rolls his eyes. Personally, I think it's a fun nonsense game to play when I'm bored. When I'm designing online, I find that my mind runs too fast at times and this game has become my go-to for when I need to slow down.

I have no idea where I found the link to the Falling Sand Game, but I'm happy as hell I did.

My grandfather was a bit eccentric. A perennial inventor, the lore is that he was the one who originally created the slushie (frozen drink), but after sharing his idea with an investor, he was told it was ridiculous. And a few months later, the Icee came out and he made nothing. Sadly, in his later years he was quite senile and quite deaf, so there was no way for me to ever get the story from him.

When he died in 2005, my dad and his brothers cleaned out his storage space and found file drawers containing hundreds of invention ideas. That led me to start looking him up online, to see what I could find. One site I came across was GetGrandpasFBIFile.com.

The reason I bookmarked it was because I didn't have all the information I needed to fill it out and saved it for later, when I could ask my dad the pertinent info.

Think your grandfather might have an interesting past? Check it out… it's free.

Shelfari just recently joined my bookmarks bar (i.e., about 20 minutes ago when I stumbled across it via the WordPress plugins codex), but after spending those 20 minutes rapidly adding books and reading others' comments about them, I'm in total love.

You create a free account (free is always better), create your personalized URL (similar to flickr) and then go to your shelf and start adding books. Fortunately you can add via author or title.. if you do author, it'll give you a list of all their books (perfect for me, since when I find an author I like, I tend to buy all their books). And each book has their own page on the site where you can go to chat about the book with other shelfari users.

The top two reasons I love this site? The interface is beautiful (actual shelf, with your books on them AND you can click-and-drag them to whatever order you wish) and I can add widgets to my blogs to show what I have or what I'm reading. I have hundreds of books, and while I've always wanted to catalogue them, the task was just far too daunting. This site allows me to catalogue everything I have at a much quicker pace.

In 2004 a guy named Sean McGrail decided to circumnavigate the world and write about it. I honestly don't remember how I stumbled across his site, but ever since I met someone on a round-the-world trip, I've wanted to take one myself, so finding this was great.

I hesitate to call it a blog because it was only updated for a few months, and to my knowledge, hasn't been updated since 2005. McGrail spent $22,371, traveled over 41,000 miles and visited all of the wonders of the world. His site still exists and is filled with funny anecdotes, excellent travel information (see "what I packed") and gorgeous pictures.

McGrail is from Boston, so in addition to basic gear, he took along his Red Sox cap, and somehow he managed to convince LOTS of people to pose, wearing the hat, in front of all the wonders of the world. Who does that?!

One thing that really struck me was that he wanted to take the 117 day trip alone. Several years back I traveled around the US for four months, and to this day, I wish I had convinced someone to go with me. Granted, back then blogs weren't that well known and no one I knew had a laptop, so my cellphone was my only connection to people from home.
