The Online Pinball Hall ...
I like very much pinballs because although they're based on simple principles they are a great support for making alive imaginary worlds. A large bunch of online flipper are gathered here :
just for the fun :-) !

Remember the Tower of Babel ? ...
Surely it is not the ultimate solution, but it is quite a great work and tool that proposes the Lexilogos site :
http://www.lexilogos.com/english/index.htm for the english portal
http://www.lexilogos.com/index.htm for the french portal
with online dictionaries for tenth of languages. It has a translation system in which you only need to type a word once before having it translated with the different dictionaries available for a given language (for example translation between french and english can be done through 9 dictionaries, 11 between german and english !).

Convert your image in 3D scene
A great work of the Standford 3D Reconstruction Group.
On this page :
http://make3d.stanford.edu/
you can upload a photograph which is then turned into a 3D VRML scene from this single view. If you don't have a VRML viewer then a little movie, taken by a camera flying in the scene, is shown.

Patterns for Information Visualization
This site : http://niceone.org/infodesign/ has the interest of presenting a taxonomy of graphical patterns for information representation.
I like this approach as it makes wonder about the roots of the semantic of diagrams, which are I think linked to the roots of our culture.
