Need a little break? Check out this on-line 3-D ping pong game. It's quite fun.

I'm back! Little hiatus there for the last week. Anywho, here's something new. Kind of a leet speak translator. Only goes one way though. Anyway,check out what you would type like if you were a 12 year old on AIM.

Um, I don't know if this is actually useful for anything or not, but if you ever need a ROT-13 Translator, there's one here. I used it to translate a solution I found online for Crimson Room.
I'm not sure where ROT-13 comes from, but I think it's a UNIX thing.
(ROT-13, BTW, just is the 13 letter from the letter you actually want)

Oh this is too fun. Def one of the best StrongBad emails ever. It's StrongSad on caffeine!
If you're not familiar with StrongBad, check out more StrongBad emails, and all the rest of the crew over at Homestar Runner.com.

Okay, blogger wasn't working last night, but it seems like it's up and running again. Anyway, here are two links I found I thought were cool. First one is info on how we have come a step closer to Quantum Computing! Exciting stuff. To me anyway. I'm such a closet techie.
The other one is more on a fun side. The very first Superman comic book every. Scanned in and oh so fun to see.
Ciao

Remember the Rubix Cube? Have one sitting in your closet hopelessly jumbled? Well, with Cube Explorer you can solve it - usually in under 20 moves!
Now that's cool.

Ah, life is good. Talk a walk with me down the memory lane of The Electric Company - make sure to check out the pinball vid.
(You know - "one two three FOUR FIVE, six seven eight NINE TEN, ELEVEN TWELVE!")

Well, not as light and fun as usual, but I thought I'd put it on here anyway. Ran across this site while researching for my child soldiers paper. Pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about wars. Quite in depth, and definitely not a read just for fun. This one's about learning, not laughs.

Thremobaric weaponry - getting mighty futuristic now aren't we. Check out the XM29 - coming to a soldier near you in 2006.

Ha! Too funny. I found out that according to my Googlism, I am, and I quote, "a stripper at guilty pleasures," "confined to a wheelchair after an incident involving the death of my first slayer," "a handsome man," and "weak willed and enjoys many of the vices that puritanism forbids," among many other things (such as being known as "the long rifle").
So, what's your Googlism? Hit me back and let me know!

Trogdor!

You know you wish you were a kid again when you can make Trogdor! in Legos. Wait - why do I need to be a kid?
Trogdor! Burninator *da da Da* Burninating the countryside - TROGDOR!
-----------------------------------------
Oh, and just in case you don't know who/what Trogodor is, find out the Origin of Trogdor in one of the most famous StrongBad emails ever. (And if you don't know who Strongbad and HomeStar Runner are, you really need to get with it.)
For example, even the characters on TV's "Buffy" know about Trogdor. Watch this clip to see.

Wow, this is some pretty up-close and personal footage and stills of a ThunderBird jet crash. Check it out. I don't know if I would have had the nerves it took to wait for the head on shot. It's truly amazing though.

Ooga Chakka Hooga Hooga Ooga Chakka - it's Mr. Baywatch himself, singing a classic in quite a funny way.
