I broke the internet

Well, only sort of. Today was not my best day - I rolled out some code that took down our public website for a few hours this morning. The thing is, it only affected FireFox and Chrome (and maybe Safari - didn't check) but IE was fine so I didn't notice right away...when I did notice - I got that sick to my stomach feeling when you know you screwed up but you are not quiet sure how to fix it.
Took about 40 minutes but I was able to fix my mistake and there were several times when I had to wait for something to deploy or wait for a server to reboot. Turns out sitting and thinking about my screw-up made me feel even worse - so to take my mind of SharePoint and code I give you a list of non-SharePoint things that make me happy and do not require me to use any CSS.
