On those rainy or winter days, when you find yourself bored completely out of your mind, then checkout these websites to get your geek on.

1. Break

   This website allows visitors to submit their videos, games, and photos, so that other members in the community can rate and comment on the content. Of course, this website doesn’t compare to the massive content of “YouTube” but it still is worth checking out.

2. Swaptree

   Swap your old books, music, movies and games for something new with another Swaptree member. This service is free and the membership is free, the only thing that members are responsible for paying is the shipping costs. This is a cool website that works and is fun. However, Swaptree members are limited to what can be traded and is not available in every country, just yet.

4. Freelotto

   Play the lotto daily for free and get your chance to win up to $10 million dollars. I have been a member for years and have occasionally won a few bucks, but no really big money, so far. There are six lotto games where you could win cash, cars or homes everyday and for nothing out-of-pocket. Freelotto does offer an optional premium member service that allows members to automatically enter the lotto without having to visit the website everyday that you want to play. The basic membership is free.

5. Treeloot

   Treeloot has hidden a cache of cash and other prizes in their prize tree and you have to find it – to win it. Treeloot is really easy to play, just point in any location on the tree and click using your mouse to reveal if you found any prizes. Surprisingly, this is a very addicting game for a couple of days, and then it starts to get old.

6. PopCap

   PopCap is a fun website to play games online. The majority of games are very addictive interactive puzzles, spelling and strategy games that nearly anyone would enjoy. There are many free games and limited trial version games to choose from, but PopCap does sell game downloads, if a player wishes to own a copy of a game to play offline. There is no pop-up windows or spyware to worry about here at this site.

7. e-Podunk

   This is a wonderful website to research 46,000 cities, towns, communities and more before moving or traveling out of town. Visitors can spend hours on this site, just learning about different places from around the country (USA, Canada, Ireland and the UK).

8. Music Dish

   This is an excellent website to stay current with music news from around the world. Whether you choose to read articles, reviews or looking for a career in the music industry, then this website is rich in the content that music fans are interested in.

9. Sky & Telescope

   This is another comprehensive website that is dedicated to astronomy and stargazers to keep in-touch with the vastness of space and the planets, stars, moons, suns, and other space interests. I did encounter some pop-up ads, so just be sure to turn-on your pop-up blocker to stop the pop-up ads from popping up.

10. e-Nature

    This website is a real treat for anyone who loves learning about animals and animal behavior. There is so much to do on this website from reading about animals to playing games or you could ask an expert, if you have a question about nature or the animals that call it home.
