Forget resolutions, indulge on Internet
Site Seeing

Instead of starting the New Year with a column all about the things we should be doing to make our lives better, like organizing, dieting or exercising, I decided to take a break after the holidays. It’s time to de-stress and have fun. The Internet can help. Here are a few sites I bookmarked for all those days in the coming year when I just want to goof off and forget about resolutions, responsibilities and efficient use of time. Enjoy!

www.virtual-bubblewrap.com — Indulge yourself if only for a few minutes at this site. Be careful not to get addicted. Some have claimed to spend hours popping this online bubble wrap. The site provides a realistic looking sheet of that bubbly plastic in which site visitors can smash to their heart’s content. Select to pop them one by one with the click of your mouse, or go into manic mode and just slide your mouse over as many tiny bubbles as you can. Also, choose from three sizes of bubbles. Finally, see the insane version of virtual bubble wrap where the web master has replaced the popping noise with some crude audio and visual effects.
