Some really useful websites!

As I use the web on a daily basis, for long bouts of time often, I like to maximize the utility of the sites I need. I mean, the 'net is filled with all sorts of garbage, and you need to know which sites are better than others.

I've compiled below a list of some of the most useful websites I use. Enjoy:

1. Guerrilla Mail

   Get a temporary email address that expires after 15 minutes. During those 15 minutes you can read and reply to any messages. Use it and feel like a fighter deep in the Cambodian jungle, staring out at the stars in between setting up punji sticks to stop the imperial dogs.
   

2. Ted

   Some really interesting videos about varying topics.

3. Wiki Travel
