Sometimes I just like things explained simply, in good old-fashioned plain English. For instance, it was so liberating when the guys from Commoncraft talked about Twitter in layman's terms, and now with a website called Apostrophe Me, you'll never misuse apostrophes again, thanks to their cute and detailed flow chart. Other things worth checking out on the site?

If you ask most people they'll tell you that good things do come to an end — think Arrested Development, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and romantic dates — but if you ask the creators of Orange's Unlimited website they'll tell you it shouldn't be so.
The Good Things Should Never End website falls under the same lengthy category as the Visuals of the World, a site that aims to be the longest visual website in the world and asks web users to share and contribute to their strip of seamless images.
Unlike Visuals of the World, the long strip of images on the Good Things site is created entirely by Orange Shop, a UK phone company that offers pay as you go phones as well as old school devices.

Ever since I shared sites like Dogster and Fido Finder, I've realized that I need to cater to my feline friends as well. United Cats is a social network for cat owners who want to create online profiles for their cat by attaching pictures (I'm sure Wii Kitty pictures are a hit), and who want to take a look at other cats, post comments and communicate with other cat lovers. This free site basically lets you create a mini website for your cat where you can include information like its breed, favorite food, date of birth, etc.

How are you feeling today? There's now a new website that will help you track your moods and share them with friends and family so they can be warned when you're in a less than friendly mood. Moodmill is a social mood management site (ever heard that before?) that will help you stay in touch with your online contacts by creating a log of how you are feeling.

If you can't find the time to get to your local art museums, now you can conveniently bring the art to you and your desktop with a cool website called Artist a Day. So maybe it's not the same as the transcending experience you'd get cruising around the Met, but it does showcase a new artist each day and brings attention to various artists whose work may have gone unnoticed otherwise.
When you like artists' works, you can leave comments or continue on to their personal websites to see more of their creations.

OK, I know you're probably sick of hearing me go on and on about recycling your old electronics, but I have an offer you won't be able to refuse. If you send your "gently-used" gadgets to Second Rotation, you'll get paid for them, in cash — simple as that! Fair enough, you may not get $500 for that old Toshiba TV hiding in the garage, but you will be dealing with a reputable company who offers free shipping for your goods and your gadget is going to a good home (not a landfill).
