Amazon's Mechanical Turk is a program that pays you to spend some time doing mindless tasks. Most of the tasks are easy- things like transcribing addresses from scanned resumes or answering questions on a blog. The pay is small, but it can add up quickly if you're sitting in front of the TV completing little jobs when you'd otherwise be doing nothing. And after completing a few boring jobs, you'll become eligible for the higher paying and more fun opportunities available on the site.
