http://artpad.art.com/artpad/painter This is the ultimate time waster. This little program works kind of like Microsoft Paint, but with an extra little catch: you can play back the animation of drawing it. A great use for this is making a customized birthday card for your sweetheart and e-mailing it to him/her. How sweet.
