Hawai'i Tech
50 ways to waste time on the Web

By Vicki Viotti

1. For a really warped view of just about anybody, try the neat Web face-morphing routine at Fearthis.com.

2. You can go around the world in a lot fewer than 80 days, via satellite photo of our planet, courtesy of Earth Viewer ( www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/satellite.html ).

3. A different form of mad cow disease resides at Fling the Cow (http://www.flingthecow.com/), a somewhat Monty Python-esque experience.

4. No matter what kind of computer you use, there's solo entertainment available at solitairecentral.com.

5. Hot or not, it's fun to rate the would-be hunks and babes at Am I Hot or Not? (http://www.hotornot.com/).

6. A Hawai'i Pacific University student/artist calling himself Techno has assembled some cool ("kewl") Web animations at http://www.surfpunks.com/. It's best if you (a) understand his rabid appreciation of women and (b) have a fast Net connection.
