A little Picard for your Saturday

The Patrick Stewart Alphabet… Very strange stuff. It goes on a tad too long but watching Picard do all this stuff was somehow hypnotic to me.

Don´t like a website ? Destroy it..

Yeah this sounds crazy at first glance, but keep reading… My first target: Microsoft. The weapon: Muddy Footprints. After approximately one minute the complete site was full of mud. Great, now something more devastating. I placed some nasty landmines on the website of a good friend.
That really had to hurt. You have a friend whose [...]

Lighted Door Handle

Install this lighted door handle and your roommate will know when the coast is clear, or when you’re doing dancing the mattress mambo with that babe from across the way. The handle glows red or green, which you select using a small lever underneath.
Too bad the genius that created this (and it is uber-cool in [...]

Google Earth Battleship

Using Google Earth as a gaming environment is a great strategy. What better place to game than in a real environment? No need to create new environments, and obstacles.
Julian is in the process of ripping out a Battleship game utilizing Google Earth! Juian has been playing around with Google’s newly acquired Sketchup application, and modeling [...]

Supposedly the best paper plane (in the world)

Step by step instructions here - great way to pass the time at work. The step-by-step photo tutorial should make it easy, but if you're still confused, the video makes it pretty clear. I can't vouch for the "best in the world" claim, but I can tell you that it will probably blow away any [...]

The Politically Incorrect Alphabet

The long and short of the story is that, this gentleman spent a great deal of time in his wife’s class room, staring at the pictures of the typical illustrations of alphabet letters, thinking back to his own childhood, and remarking on how a number of the illustrations have changed due to political correctness. So, [...]

Google Earth now available for Mac and Linux

Despite being mostly a Windows boy myself, I'm really glad to see Google moving some of its apps to other platforms. Today Google announced the availability of Google Earth 4 Beta, which is a free download not just for Windows, but also for Mac OS X (yes, it's a universal binary) and Linux. Yes, Google [...]

Replica Guide to KITT and KARR

If, as a young impressionable child, you always wanted to grow up to be just like Michael Knight, only to find years later that fate had dealt you a cruel hand and you were unable to croon in German or grow luxurious chest hair, perhaps you will find some solace in the fact that while [...]

Today’s Time Waster - Flow

Flow is a brilliant Flash game that's a sort of cross between Pac-Man and Nibbles, though that's hardly doing it justice. There's no plot to speak of, but you begin the game as a sort of small luminescent organism and you must eat other organisms to grow. You can go forward or back among the [...]

Today’s Time Waster - Rolling Madness

Marble Madness is hands-down one of my favorite arcade games of all time. That said, I really stunk at it. Rolling Madness is a clone of Marble Madness, done using OpenGL and other open source tools… It looks great, and plays perfectly. Unfortunately, I'm just as bad at this as I was the original. The [...]

Today’s Time Waster - Baja

Everybody loves Pac Man, right? Baja is similar in that you have to avoid another character (a car), while collecting items (flags) to clear stages. But Baja is 3D, done in Shockwave, and your car has a fuel limit. The controls can be a little wonky at times, but overall this is a great several [...]

Today’s Time Waster - The Last Starfighter

This is all too sweet. Some lucky dudes got a replica of the arcade cabinet used in the movie The Last Starfighter, and they are preparing to load a copy of the game used in the movie on it. Well, the game Starfighter is also a replica… But it's fun! And it's free. And with [...]
