WELL, MAYBE WE CAN'T ALL GET ALONG. If you always wanted to be the baddest bad girl in the schoolyard (or, for some of you, if you want to relive the glory days), go rumble at Sissyfight.com. This multi-player Flash game simulates the nightmarish milieu of a girls' school playground at recess. Now everyone -- men, too -- can hurl insults, gang up on friends, scratch and tattle with abandon. But be careful: get too powerful and you could be the next target. Sigh. Don't think we're not a little disturbed; maybe these impulses will never die. But at least we can keep them virtual. Or maybe you should just take up hockey. [— Colin.]

CUTECOUPLECAM? These folks set you up to watch your kids in day care via live stream. I'd say their next venture should be ... well, you know that consuming -- and detail-oriented -- so-in-love feeling where you want to know what your honey is doing every second of the day (and vice versa)? Leetle cams in your offices sure would save a lot of goofy email. (Surely Breakup Mom's now figuring out how rig up a KitchenCam to make sure I don't chop vegetables on the "chicken" cutting board.)

MEN MY MOTHER DATED. The "family" version of this. Totally cute idea — don't you wish you'd thought of it? (I mean, unless your mother's Breakup Mom.)

A POET SHOULD KNOW IT. Poets on the make now have a major tactical advantage. RhymeZone helps you find just the right word you need to finish that turgid rock anthem or spunky villanelle. Bonus: Go see what rhymes with "breakup"! No, really! [— Mike.]

'THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CLOSET." After 10 years of marriage, Salon's Janet Nicolazzo comes out as the straight spouse.

NOW THAT'S A RING! If you thought your friends were making a fuss about rings, check out what's going on down in New Zealand. [— Mike.]

LOVE TO DRIVE, DRIVE TO LOVE: THE BLACK PILL DIARIES. Big To Do contributor Joshua Allen recently made what amounts to just about the grandest gesture left in romance: he packed up his comfy life on the West Coast and drove his car (The Black Pill) across the whole damn country. Braving the worst that law enforcement, Texas, and even his own family had to bring, Josh puts his unique spin on the country at large and contributes to the recently invented narrative form, the "roadtrip Web site." Hop in and see what one man/car did for love. [— Colin.]

GOING MY WAY? And if you don't have your own Black Pill (or reason to drive one cross-country), try Rideboard.com. Come on, you saw The Sure Thing
