"Carve computer-generated ripples in the surface of a main highway, and when vehicles pass over the surface, mysterious voices whisper, and distant music plays."
A page of suggested hi-tech practical jokes, with copious links to tangents and source materials. Very inspiring.  ]
A stupid new random-word toy, which has been sitting around with its wires out for ages, is now ready for the world - Doctor Unheimlich's Disease Registry.  ]
If you had to fight a registration page for the previous link, you should arm yourself with a can of Bug Me Not; a public-maintained database of generic logins for all such registration-demanding news sites, with - ingeniously - a simple bookmarklet that looks at your browser's URL and tells you the logins you can use.  ]

A few good rounds of Kolodny's Game at the weekend - it's actually a distant and not-very-different precursor of Zendobun, just with looser rules and an ingeniously conversational yes/no structure. A good paperless brain game, and playable whilst walking, to confuse passers-by.

21st century variant - Spamzendo. One player is the Filter, and the others are Spammers. The Spammers take turns to send emails to the Filter (specifying only a thematically-appropriate subject line), and the Filter accepts or rejects them according to its secret rule.  ]
