(website design and speling and stuff) The
Political Compass
Read the blurb on the main page of this site, then
take the (entirely anonymous) five-minute test. It will tell you where YOU are
on the political compass.
- includes a list of influential
thinkers who think like you, based on your test results... Try
the Stroop Effect...
Very funny perception game that I found
on the Ontario Science Centre website.

Color Test (fancy version of the Stroop Effect - requires Macromedia Flash
plug-in) Gilles' CLOSETCAM

Archives...
[According to my site stats, during
the first 23 days of October 2009, the Closetcam page was viewed 23 times and
the Closetcam Archives page was also viewed 23 times. It's an interesting sociological
experiment...] The
