A list of best sites of 2008 from kottke.org.

I haven’t gone through all of these yet. So far my favourites are the scary ‘Big Dog’ robot and the skateboarding video directed by Spike Jonze.

The list is taken from lifehacker.com. The highlights for me are:

10. Reduce Screen Time Before Bed
6. Avoid the Soul-Shattering Alarm Buzzer
4. Beat Insomnia with Visualization
and
1. Teach Yourself to Lucid Dream

Lots of different types of knots. Some are pretty cool.

The Baby Boom Generation will never be mistaken for the Greatest Generation that survived the Great Depression and defeated evil in a World War that killed 72 million people. I hate to tell you Boomers, but putting a yellow ribbon on the back of your $50,000 SUV is not sacrifice.

Fantastic article about the Baby Boomers generation in the US. Read it here. From seekingalpha.com.

Great Flash site which makes good use of interaction and content.
