These animations are extremely cool to watch. Amazing to think about them being created by someone with a computer.
Some useful resources on this site to help diagnose, identify and deal with chronic disorganization in yourself or those close to you. Maybe they will soon give it an official psychiatric designation.
Spoof Wikipedia-style encyclopaedia where nothing is true. Fascinating, isn’t it?
This would have made studying chemistry so much easier. The animations and colours really help reveal the relationships of all the elements.
While some skills have long become something for the reminiscent, like changing a fountain nib perhaps or operating an a-track player, some of the skills on this list seem like they were useful “just yesterday” - remember rabbit ears antennae?
To aid in improving your nutritional habits, Foodsel provides visual comparisons of the content of common foods (hard to swallow when you see the whole stick of butter). It also shows how much exercise is needed to burn off items. Turns out I need to walk upstairs for 24 minutes to burn off my breakfast of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal.
If you have some strange desire to go learn about, let’s say, cultural anthropology or robotics, you can find a course here. These universities all provide free course material, some more in depth than others, but wonderful resources for those of us who love to learn.
If you are somebody that finds it hard to walk out of a bookstore without a stack of books, your arms may be able to get some relief.

A good resource for when you must have it now.
