It's a start anyway...
FTC - Spam
"This website has information about the Federal Trade Commission's recent law enforcement actions against deceptive commercial email and spammers' responsibilities under the CAN-SPAM law. In the 'For Consumers' section, you'll find tips on how to reduce the amount of spam email in your in-box."
Perhaps something useful can be learned here. There's a form to file a complaint and tips on how to avoid the latest scams. Doesn't hurt to be prepared.

Comedians USA
Ever wonder what happened to a favorite comedian (like this one for example)? ComediansUSA.com is a good starting point if you're like me, and can't remember all the names. If you know some, you can search by name or by category. I started here. I like that they have pictures of the comedians because even if I can't remember the name, I'll usually remember the face. When I found this site, I considered it a good starting point (so I could find the name) for searching elsewhere to try and find a comedians official (or similar) website.
Don't expect to find every comedian (no George Carlin!?. And it's probably best not to confuse this site with a "fansite."

5 a day
The Dole website has a nice Fruit & Vegetable Nutrition Facts Chart. In case you wonder how many calories (and how much fiber, vitamin A,C, potassium, and folate) the food that's good for you contains. (Listed alphabetically per serving.) I wonder about that sometimes. Found this when looking for info about white nectarines (didn't find that here, but that's alright). Why do they keep altering already-healthy foods? Strange. I thought the more colorful (and dark) the fruit/veggie was, the better it was supposed to be for you. Times change I guess.
The chart could use some breaks to make it easier to read (it's a bit long), but otherwise, it's pretty handy. Some list items are linked to their reference center entry, which provides more detail (like the history, availability, preparation tips). Good stuff.

Desktop Wallpaper
A while back I wanted a program that would automatically change my wallpaper. There's tons of programs out there and some are actually free. Like this one: Compumatrix Wallpaper Changer. For some reason I couldn't find it here or here but it's still available elsewhere. Very simple to use and configure. Easy to add more pictures and save several different profiles (varying scheme of backgrounds you want). Auto-change as often as you like. I love it because I can cycle a ton of ocean pictures and always have a beautiful background on my desktop.
