This is a medical website that aims to entertain and inform children and adults alike about the major health issues facing us today.
The content is written with a North American audience in mind - so the statistics and figures will not necessarily be relevant to where you live, and the Healthcare locator certainly will not be.
But there is one feature of this website that I found really interesting and wanted to share with the world - the virtual body.
Split into four key parts this interactive display allows you to tour the human body in several ways. There are stills with information panels, animated models, and even some narrated tours, which will help you reach a fuller understanding of how your body works.
Nice to navigate and clearly illustrated and labelled, this should prove a useful study guide as well.
Whether you are learning the guitar, or are a seasoned veteran working on composing your own songs, this website offers several really useful features to help you make the most of your musical talents.
The chords section boasts over 1,000 chords and inversions, and the interactive interface lets you actually strum them so you can get a feel for how it sounds - which could be a real boost if you are writing a catchy love song.
Click the My Chords link and hit save on the guitar to add a chord to your personal selection, which can then be played back in a loop - another useful composing tool.
There is a similar section on guitar scales, which will not only help you to learn but could also provide inspiration for a new style of music. And of course what guitar resource would be complete without a handy little tuner - so you need never play a bum note again.
I'm not a knitter myself, but I think I could easily learn the craft with the help of this packed website, full of tutorials, patterns and advice to get the garments flowing off the tips of your needles.
From casting on to casting off, and everything that comes in between, these tutorials are clear and unfussy - just the way I like them.
Navigation is also nice and straight forward, with expanding menu tabs at the top of the page to let you quickly leap between sections.
You will also find plenty of free patterns you can knit, once you have mastered enough of the art of needle waggling to tackle some creations.
Sign up for free membership and you can join in the forum activity too, perhaps sharing some of your own design ideas with this knit-crazy community.
Like the website itself the concept is brilliantly simple - you just write a letter to yourself, add your email address and set a date for delivery and futureme.org will take care of the rest.
Don't forget to make the mail private if you don't want the world to read it - and talking of which, this is a really intriguing way to spend a few minutes.
Click the link to View Public Entries and you can scroll through some of the letters old and new which, although anonymous, have been made public by their authors.
It is a fascinating look at culture and attitudes - seeing what different people think are the important things to tell themselves today, tomorrow. If you get what I mean.
