Best of Web: A quick roundup of some sites that are worthy of your attention

Seen and Heard in Edmonton: Finding interesting blogs and podcasts can be difficult, but if you’re interested in local events and perspectives, then check out Karen Unland’s Seen and Heard. It’s a blog about blogs, and a podcast about podcasts. Karen catalogues the latest online media that comes out of the Edmonton Area and gives you a rundown of must-reads for the week, as well as worthwhile local podcasts to make your commute a bit more interesting. You can find it here.

Geoguessr: This one is for all the geography fans out there. Geoguessr is part game and part online adventure. When you start, the program drops you into a Google Street View perspective somewhere on the planet, and it’s up to you to figure out where you are. Walk around, investigate the local scene and then make your guess. This site will push your geography knowledge and reasoning skills to the limit. As it turns out, getting lost can be a lot of fun.

Supercook: Contrary to its name, Supercook is not a website for super cooks. This site is for the rest of us, who look around our kitchens and can’t figure out which ingredients go together. Take stock of what food items you have lying around your kitchen, input them into Supercook and the site will generate a long list of recipes based on those items. Didn’t think you could make a meal out of mustard, carrots and a can of tuna? Well, Supercook can certainly help you try. Get started here.

ClearDarkSky: St. Albert receives a lot of light pollution from Edmonton, which blocks out much of the night sky. ClearDarkSky is an attempt to help people escape the pollution, by giving up-to-date information about light levels and cloud cover around the world. If you’ve ever wanted to see more than the 25 stars available to us here in the Capital Region, check out ClearDarkSky for tips on the best stargazing locations around the city.
