Gallery of unique USS Enterprise designs, from a smiley face to a UPS 'delivery ship' to (my favorite,) a chocolate enterprise with sprinkles and a bite missing from it.

Create a goal and a date by which you want to achieve it. Contact this web site with above information. They will tell you a price based on your goals and date. You give them your money. If you don't achieve your goal by the selected date, they keep your money. At least a portion will go to charity.
This is intended to be motivating, but it would just motivate me to lie.

The Internet Movie Firearms Database: Find what films/TV Shows/Video Games a certain gun was used in. Or, choose a film/TV Show/Video game and find out what guns are used therein. Not just for gun fiends and NRA Members, this is actually quite interesting.

This is one of my favorite sites to come along in a long time. This site contains 7 videos compiled by YouTube user "Kutiman". The videos are musical "Mash-ups" of other users musical video postings. He'll take one video of someone teaching drum technique, one video of a woman singing a lullaby to her child, a video of someone playing a keyboard they're trying to sell, and a video of a string quartet on stage, even a video of someone playing with an antique siren, and mash them all together (slicing and dicing the footage as needed to benefit the end product). The results are nothing short of astounding. Catchy, danceable, funny and beautiful. The whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. This kind of thing is why YouTube (and the internet) was created.
