Recreation
When you have a few minutes to waste, these are for you.
-
Geoguessr shows you a street scene from
somewhere in the world. The challenge is to identify exactly where it is.
The best I've witnessed was within 6 metres!
- The Easter Egg Archive
contains stuff on interesting things hidden in software, films, games, etc.
Miscellaneous
Odd stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere.
- Gridwatch
shows you lots of simulated meters. They show the current UK
electricity consumption, and where the power is coming from. Hover over
meters to get more explanation. This is particularly interesting when a
high pressure zone sits over the UK in winter - very cold, and virtually
no power from wind.
- Flightradar24
gives information about planes in the air all over the world, in
real time. There's a phone app too.
- If you're more into ships, then
Marinetraffic is for you.
