Don't need to install anything - (tho you might want to block the myriad cookies) - Google takes a bunch of RSS feeds, mashes em up and gives you a fun, time wasting slideshow of the web.
I apologize to your boss in advance.

Got this from a comment, thought I'd pass it along
Symnym uses linguistic data and artificial intelligence to create interesting domain name suggestions based off of two words describing your business, service, or product. I've been working on it for awhile - still have a ways to go, but it already produces some pretty cool names.
What's cool is that it suggests names based on what you enter - checks if the domains are available and then presents the results in list form. Very cool.

This is cool, if you're feeling bored or artistic (or both) go try your hand at some art.

This is a neat bit 'o software - small app that snags online comics and saves you the work of browsing to all the individual sites. If you are a bit handy you can add comics that aren't included.

If any of you might be curious about where this meme originated - this post will settle the score. I highly recommend watching the original movie - in part because it's great and in part because the producer has been so kind as to not take down all the copyright infringing clips.

Um, that never happens.
You can un-hide stuff too - hand for desktop sharing and other situations.

This is a site I use every week when creating FTP passwords and such for work. Thought I'd share it.
Secure Password Generator
The PC Tools Password Generator allows you to create random passwords that are highly secure and extremely difficult to crack or guess due to an optional combination of lower and upper case letters, numbers and punctuation symbols.
It's also great for Wireless keys and SSID's

I've been in this spot once and could have used a free service to do just this. Now I know, and so too do you.
So, you’re in a crunch and you really need to fire off a quick text document to a fax number. In this article, I’m going to cover 5 free services that let you send an email to a fax machine, but the three most common are in this first batch. The following three services are about as simple as they can get. Without any registration of any kind, you can simply visit the website, upload the file that you want to fax, type in the fax number and fire it off. The service simply faxes your document to the recipient you entered. Sound to good to be true? Well, it’s not. It is paid for by ad revenue on both the website and by placing ads on the cover page of your fax as well.
Oh yeah, there's the ad on the cover page part - but if that isn't a deal breaker then you're solid.

Every now and then you need a x by x sized image just to act as a placeholder. Sure, you can craft one up yourself but this site does it quicker. - just enter the size you need in the URL ( http://dummyimage.com/640x480 )
Anyone remember this? It's one lesson in life I blatantly ignored. I don't eat pancakes unless they're afloat.

Some dude has taken the time to recreate the look and feel of Win 3.1 on the web-
no, you can't go into the control panel and change the video drivers ( I tried ) but it is a trip to the past... This was the first version of Windows I worked with professionally and it always brings back fond memories of the early days of Windows.
