SatireWeb.com did an interview with the Search Engine "Ask Jeeves". Hilarious stuff.
Weblog Madness is an excellent resource for everything that has to do with weblogs: webrings, scripts, communities and more.
I like shmuel.org

I got a nice email from Ohad, another israeli blogger. I have to admit I was more than surprised, but also glad :) He also pointed out the blog of May, another israeli.
My mom convinced me into going to a "Weight Watchers" group. She didn't have to convince me too hard, though... I really want to lose some weight. I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing too.
Concerning Women seems like an interesting zine on women issues. I should check it out more, to see how it develops. It's lovely to find so many nice women zines lately.
Last Words is an interesting site too, including last words, wills and farewells of famous people.
Shavuot is coming soon (on Sunday). For the occasion, I will post my amazing cheese cake recipe (it's actually my mom's, but I upgraded it a bit) here. I promise :)
:) have Fun.

No blogging until I'll get back, but in the mean time go visit the website "Famous Name Changes". Hours of entertainment guaranteed.
:) Have Fun (I won't).

I'm thinking of redoing the layout of this blog. I'm tired of it. I already have a thing in mind.... we'll see.
I love the designs of East Coast Girl and Miss Fancy Pants. I just sat and went through their entire layouts history. What a style they have! Amazing.
:) Have Fun.

Through one of the directories I spotted Muppet World, a cool flash site featuring the Muppets! It's very cool.
I also found ironwulf.net. It's a very very nice personal site.
and that's what i'm doing instead of going to bed after ranting earlier that i'm tired. shame on me.

I visited some really lovely personal sites lately. I love Beth's dorkist.com. I wish I was as cool as her :)
Tek's fivelittlecups.com is so adorable. Her illustrations are amazing. I wish I could draw :(
Miss Fancy Pants is cool too. I really like her designs.
Nikki has made gorgeous wallpapers with her own drawings. They are so cute!
Gareth's Encyclopedia of Monsters, Mythical Creatures and Fabulous Beasts is an interesting site, and also very informative.
:) Have Fun.

(and no, I didn't go dancing in the streets half naked ;) , the subject is a quote from the I AM Weasel song (I.R. Baboon rocks). Maybe this is also the right moment to declare my undying love to Dexter.)
:) Have Fun.

Make yourself a Mr. Men or Little Miss. This is my Little Miss Magic:
Mario Vargas Llosa answers the question "Why literature?"
I Found A Duck is the first global duck race happening across the face of the earth and across the web. I think it's a very cool idea, somehow like the 1000 journals project, only sillier.
Turn your Silicon Graphics server into a refrigerator. Amazing what geeks will and can do.
:) Have Fun.

I started re-reading "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" because I needed something to cheer me up. It helped a bit - I slept better yesterday's night. It's actually a rather dark book - not a cheererupper, but it makes me feel good.
What else does a girl do when she's down? Shopping! Personally, I hate shopping for clothes, makeup, shoes and stuff like that, so I went ahead and bought myself another domain name (my 10th).
I'm crazy.
Anyway, somehow I finally managed to launch Bits of Magic.Network at bitsofmagic.net. It features all my active sites and domains. The design is simple, but I really like it :)
I also found some nice sites I really liked. One of them is soapbox girls, which is a great online zine for women. The design is beautiful and the content is interesting too.
In my former blog format I posted a link to Gifts of Speech : Women's Speeches from around the World. I just thought I'd run it by you again.
Film Fatales is a nice online cinema zine, written by and directed to women. The design is great, but I don't really like their writing style- a personal preference of mine. The content is still excellent though.
:) Have Fun.

Three people signed my guestbook today... I'm so happy to receive such attention and love :) Thanks!
One of them was Bobbi Jo from caterpuzel.com. It's such a sweet domain :) I love that layout!!
Yep, I do love boys in glasses.
This is impoartant: Personal Safety Tips for women. Read.
This doll creator is great ! (got it from Tracy). It's a shame it doesn't have a girl with black hair - like mine. This is the closest to myself I could come up with (which doesnt look like me at all, actually...) :
:) Have Fun.

Do you know that George Bush is 88% in love with me? Well, you can't really blame him. (got this one from Melissa, who has an excellent blog BTW)
Tracy turned katgyrl.org into a site for startup screens downloads. She has a Harry Potter startup screen too!
I really like the design of Kitty's blog. It's amazing how many domain names she owns! and I thought I was an addict with my 9 domains! (I would have 10 if imagicnation.com wasn't taken! *sad*)
I'm toying with the idea of starting a fiction diary... but first i want to finish my other projects (my journal, bringing bitsofmagic.net to life, my geek zine, my info zine, my london site... this list is too long). This will take a while.
I also found a cool postcards site for cat lovers - ActionCat.com (got it from Tracy's blog, which I love).
Now It's REALLY time to go to sleep (almost 1 am! and I have to go to work tommorow!).
:) Have Fun.

I've been working on graphics for David's personal site lately and on my journal site. I look forward to start writing there as soon as I finish designing and coding... On the same subject, The National Post published a hilarious list for writer-wannabes. Very nice :)

Wired News published an article about the MS Office Clippy and Bayesian logic. I always use Lynx, the cat....
passthison.com offers a sweet and funny musical Flash greeting card. Send it to your fellow workers and make their day rock :)
Talking about work, check out the guide to fighting office boredom and the guide to writing unmaintainable code. I thought the last one was hilarious, but I'm a comp sci girl, so don't take my word for it :)
Check out the Star Trek headliners - they're great!
I have no idea who Brittney Cleary is, but this song of hers is so rediculous it's unbelievable. They took some web slang, added some lousy rhymes, and that's supposed to represent the teenagers of today? Yeah, right.
Her singing is annoying too, in my opinion, but this is really a matter of taste, I guess.
I really like this article on professionalism.
Apparently, my flower is Chrysanthemum since I was born in November. This means:
"You like to stand out from the crowd and have a caring nature, especially towards animals. You get jealous easily and are quite bossy. You're clever and love to get your claws into your work and your love life."
It's quite true, actually. I got it from Dodo's domain, pure-essence.net. Congrats on the new design BTW :)
Do you know that there are days and weeks that are dedicated to professions? like "Receptionist's Day" (May 9) or "Medical Laboratory week" (April 15-21). Why isn't there a "programmers month" or something like that? Can't we get a little appreciation too?
:) Have Fun.
