PICTAPS - Today's Time Waster

Today's time waster is a bit of a weird one. PICTAPS is a site that allows you to draw a character using some rudimentary online drawing tools, then watch that character become automatically animated. It then dances to a beat that will quickly drive you crazy if you listen to it for too long.

The thing is, you will listen to it for too long. At least, I know I did. When you first navigate to the site, it launches right into the animation using characters that other users have created. If you continue to watch, you'll be treated to basically the same show over and over, but using different characters. If this sound boring, I suppose it is - but it's also somewhat compelling.

But to really have fun, you need to draw a character yourself and get into the game.
