Executive Bored - An anonymous online support group for people bored at work
Work sucks. But it sucks a lot less when you've got people to laugh about it with. Executive Bored is an easy way to share sfw workplace advice (Best Practices), work stories (Smoke Breaks), stuff you bought online when you should have been working (Acquisitions), casual games you enjoy at work (Tech Support) and funny or weird office e-mails (Inbox Highlights). You can also post up videos floating around the office and more. You can see all our departments here. The site's run by a journalist and his ex-journalist buddy now trapped in HR hell, who thought this might be a fun angle to approach writing about the workplace. Anyone who joins can immediately begin posting to the site. The editors move the best stuff to the front page throughout the day. All anonymous. All work safe. People are having fun with it so far. Tech-wise the site's running on Drupal 5.7 and using mostly off-the shelf Drupal modules that have been hacked into current shape. We just went pubic yesterday. We've got a ton of features in the pipeline. The goal is to attack white collar ennui in a fun, communal way. If you want to get involved, drop by, Join the Bored and start posting.

Watch to Learn Chinese
We're using the YouTube JavaScript API to create this Chinese learning site. So all lessons are YouTube videos we collected, and sorted into 3 difficulty levels (from beginner to advanced). We also added descriptive help texts, and created a game for the site with sound recordings. Mefi feedback is appreciated, even the harsh kind :)

Hike Database
A wiki-based project I started a few months ago to create a free, complete hiking and backpacking guide to trails all over the world. With Google maps directions to trailheads, hike descriptions, and links to weather forecasts, plan hikes in places like the Bay Area, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail near Pittsburgh. We'd love new contributors, so if you can add a description of a park or hike, know coordinates to a mountain summit or trailhead, or just fix our typos, come help us out.
