If
you grew up in the city and have never experienced the joy of raising
your own pig, this site might be your ticket. Swine Online invites all
would-be farmers, and gives them enough pig dollars to feed and care for
their adopted pig for one week.

What
exactly is soulbath? Is it an art site, a net poem, or an enjoying pastime
for slackers on a Friday afternoon? Soulbath is an experimental outlet
for the London based design group hi, Res! The site values sound and vision
on equal levels, with many graphic elements being sound modules making
it an instrument of sorts.
It's
devoid of colors, which gives the site a calm and soothing feel. But,
most of all, soulbath is great fun and a very wild ride.
