FLASH GAME - Interactive Buddy v.1.02

  • Play Interactive Buddy.


  • Launch Interactive Buddy in your browser and you'll have at least 30 minutes of guaranteed lost productivity as you spend time unlocking all of it's bonus items. Clicking around causes the Buddy to react to what ever you throw at it, literally, baseballs, bowling balls, grenades, fireballs and more. The catch? Most of the items need to be purchased and you can earn money several ways at first. By tickling the buddy, but that does not earn you as many points as quickly as when you use the grenades. Sound sadistic? Sure. Sound Fun? You bet!

    VIDEO GAME - nanaca-crash

  • play nanaca-crash.


  • I first spotted this on a TV show called "cinimatech" on the kiddy video game cable channel, G4. It's an addictive Japanese flash game that has you launching some kid VIA chick-on-mountainbike across the landscape. the further you go, the cooler you are. You will bounce off the ground back up into the sky, and if your lucky, you will land on one of the characters that just stand there waiting for you to land on them, so they can give you a power boost VIA punch in the gut. A better description of the game is here. My best so far? 10,000 meters.

    BIKE - xtracycle SUB (sports utility bike)

  • Reblogged from Cool Tools.


  • What happens when you extend the ass-end of your favorite mountain bike by about two feet? You get an Xtracycle. An awesome idea if you need a handy way to get the groceries home without spending a bundle on gas.

    "This kit transforms a regular bike into an SUB (sports utility bike) by extending back the rear wheel and adding a seat and baggage platform. I've had my SUB for two years now. I find it makes owning a car completely unnecessary! I've transported my folding kayak on it. I've taken my girlfriend and her Australian Blue Heeler on it. I've moved furniture. It's crazy how stable it is. In many ways I prefer how it handles to my regular bike! And for giving people tours around NYC people just LOVE it."

    ANIMATION - Open Source Animated Short

  • Elephants Dream


  • They made an animated short using open source software and tools. Then they gave it away on the internet. But that's not all, they also released the models and source files used to create the film so you can remake or unmake your own version. It's a bizarre story of an old man walking a younger man through an ever changing environment of machinery, wires and gears. I'm not sure what it all means, but it's certainly an impressive look into the future of open sourcery and the creative frontier.

  • Peugeot concept car contest car built.


  • The Peugeot Design Contest was the first major design contest to be held on the internet and it fuelled the imagination of designers all over the globe when it first hit in 2000. Here was an opportunity for a young designer with vision to bypass everything on the way to global acclaim – the winner received significant prizes and the ultimate reward was to have their concept produced as a working vehicle and featured on the Peugeot stand at the world’s premier motor show, the Frankfurt Show. This year the third Peugeot Design Contest saw AndrĂ© Costa carry off the first prize for his outrageous two-seater electric concept car, the Moovie.

    AndrĂ© Costa’s words that described the car went as follows: "What shaped the visual look on the vehicle was the two big electric wheels with a hollow rim, these wheels are hollow in the middle, this is where the doors of the car are located, the vehicle has like this big doors allowing the users to have enough space to enter and exit the vehicle." The link takes you to some impressive photos of the completed car.

If your burping is good and your pooping is pure, then the enemies will get sick and pass out, clearing your way to victory. Space bar burps. Shift key poops.

    PHOTO - bad photos make good desktops

  • desktop wallpapers.


  • I like to take random photos. A lot of them. Enough so that the percentage of the pictures that come out somewhat decent are somewhat acceptable. Then I save them for no good reason, but to take up space on my hardrive. Recently I had the realization that these random shots might make for good desktop wallpapers. So if your in need, you might want to consider one of these. I had 385 to upload onto flickr, but it only accepted 36 of them before my bandwidth allowance was used up. I will load up the next batch 30 days from now.

    ROBOT - robots VIA Popular Electronics 1958

  • there are robots among us.


  • Modern Mechanix has 5 pages from an article about the furture of robots that ran back in 1958
    THE AGE OF SCIENCE has made the word “robot” the focus of popular fears and hopes. The hope is that machines with minds, machines that can talk, think, and work like men, will give everyone a life of leisure. The fear is that robots will replace mankind, that they might run amuck and destroy their masters, that the robots will get us if we don’t watch out. What was conceived as a work-saving machine has become the popular bogeyman of the age of science...
