Web Distractions Help Some Stay Sane
TechNewsWorld has an article on how some web sites can bring some humor or warmth to a normally hectic and stressful day. I know that when my day job has me down and I can’t get away from the computer, I turn to the General Mayhem forum here at the [H] for some laughs. Share your sites for a quick distraction via the comments below, won’t cha?

The insanity of daily life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and people have always needed to periodically decompress someway, somehow. Nowadays, they're turning to the Web for five minutes of humor, cuteness or general distraction.

entensity.net is always great for some funny clips, but is not work friendly.

Or you can put your CPU, GPU, and/or PS2 to work finding cures for nasty diseases by folding at home for Stanford for the [H]orde.

500,000 points will get you one free year of Gen May, while 1.5 million points will get you a lifetime subscription to Gen May. I am a cheap bastard, so I got a free subscription to Gen May.

Travel over to the Distributed Computing sub-forum for fun, adventure, and folding fellowship.

Plus, you get this cool badge to use at the forums, and a cool title (see mine above).

Yep, I'd go nuts if it weren't for web distractions. We're all about productivity here and I'm probably the least productive, but at least I do a near perfect job when I do work. Customer service is exhausting.
