White, pink, or brown/red noise to help you sleep. Or you can use it to drown out the sounds of your illicit plans being made - or any other illicit things you may be making/doing. You can vary the noise ratio on all three, or download loopable 30-second segments for playback offline. Also available for free download is a 60-minute recording of a thunderstorm. YES, it's boring - that's the POINT.
To my ear, the 'darker' the sound (ie, red over pink or white) is more soothing - it almost sounds like the ocean or a river.

Create 1 to 10-paragraph complaint letters about any person or company you wish with just a few keystrokes. As long as you don't care if there are any specific or accurate complaints, the letter will achieve its main goal of besmirching your target's character. Here is a sample of a complaint about 'John Q. Public':
"Call me effete if you'd like; I will still do everything in my power to develop a rational-empirical base for dialogue about John's expostulations. Then, I will announce to the world that John finds reality too difficult to swallow. Or maybe it just gets lost between the sports and entertainment pages. In either case, John's epithets are based on hate. Hate, paternalism, and an intolerance of another viewpoint, another way of life. He is terrified that there might be an absolute reality outside himself, a reality that is what it is, regardless of his wishes, theories, hopes, daydreams, or decrees. Admittedly, John struts like a god on Mount Olympus, looking down on us mortals below. But that's because John decries or dismisses capitalism, technology, industrialization, and systems of government borne of Enlightenment ideas about the dignity and freedom of human beings. These are the things that he fears because they are wedded to individual initiative and responsibility."

As many 'fill-in-the-blank' name generators as there are out there, I still never get tired of them. Combining aspects of your first and last name, your home town, your favorite actor/actresses' last name as well as the name of a prescription medication, this site is quite effective in creating realistic-sounding Jedi names. Mine is 'HENJA STSAL of the planet Cialis'
