What are some cool interactive websites I've missed out in the past year

I just got a 13" MacBook Pro (one of the lower-end models) after not having a computer for a year. Hooray!

My last computer was a 2009 MacBook and at the end of its life was not doing too well. Since then I've literally been using my iPhone for everything I did on the computer and in that time span I've totally missed out on some rad interactive websites. Most of them I saw on here, but unfortunately I don't know how to search for a lot of them since there were so many and I never bookmarked them. Can anyone help me out? I don't care if they are cool data visualizations or neat web games. Thanks!

One of the things you want is The Wilderness Downtown, which is a weirdly engrossing short film that plays heavily with HTML5.

Not too exciting but the first one that came to mind was Weave Silk.

Rasterbator can turn your photo into a big mosaic you can print on regular paper. (I printed one and it looks awesome!) [Not as interactive but a cool free product.]

If you get overloaded you can Do Nothing for 2 Minutes.

These are things I'd been meaning to check out since I got my new graphics card, so thanks for the reminder.

Weather stuff.

earth.nullschool.net (cool 3d wind map, successor of hint.fm/wind).

This has always been my favorite journalism piece.
