360 Cities

360 Cities, a panoramic image collection publishes an embed code with each image. This is a great site that you can really get lost in. Just search for a place you'd like to see a panorama of. In each panorama, there are "hot spots" which you can click on to get a view from that direction. The imagery in 360 Cities, as you will see in the image below, is really high quality.

Teampedia

Teampedia is a wiki of team building activities. On Teampedia you can find games and activities for groups of all sizes and ages. Since it is a wiki, I imagine you can add your own suggestions to Teampedia.

Don't Break the Chain

Have trouble keeping those New Years' Resolutions?

Try this site which allows you to "cross off" days on a calendar, marking days which you continue to work toward a goal. Crossing them off feels good, even though it seems silly. You can set multiple goals and color code them. Besides, it has been reported that this was thought up by Jerry Seinfeld. Maybe he thought of it when he was competing against his friends for the title, "Master of my Domain!"

Dontbreakthechain.com

Here's my Exercise Chain (yes, I know it is a short one so far). Although I've broken the chain a few times, I figure the more red blocks I see, the better I'm doing. I keep thinking that if our new President has time to work out, I probably can find 20 minutes to also.

PicSay

Very clever site to personalize pictures with cute balloons, etc.
