Your Sky "The interactive planetarium of the Web." Creates skymaps for any time and date, viewpoint, and observing location. If you enter the orbital elements of an asteroid or comet, Your Sky will compute its current position and plot it on the map. Fun to play around with, and possibly a helpful tool for amateur/backyard astronomers.
Solar System Live "The interactive Orrery of the Web." View the entire Solar System, or just the inner planets. Controls allow you to set time and date, viewpoint, observing location, orbital elements to track an asteroid or comet, etc. Fun if you like astronomy, and helpful (I imagine) for those interested in Astrology.

The Old Net is a hub/search engine made with the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, for vintage computers that can't really browse the modern internet very well. It's fun to browse on a modern computer too!
"The Wiby search engine is building a web of pages as it was in the earlier days of the internet. In addition, Wiby helps vintage computers to continue browsing the web, as pages indexed are more suitable for their performance."

Glaze and Nightshade, tools that protect your art/images you upload from being fed into generative AI models without your consent. Glaze is just defensive and protects against AI models copying your art style. Nightshade turns images into "poison samples" so that models training on them will "learn unpredictable behaviors that deviate from expected norms, e.g. a prompt that asks for an image of a cow flying in space might instead get an image of a handbag floating in space."
The Alphabetizer Alphabetize any list...and so much more!
