Easily the most amazing basketball shot I've ever seen. You just have to see the shot that defies gravity.

This is just plain fun. Text-to-speech software has come a long way. Most of the characters are good, but Audrey I think is one of the best. Try putting in a whole paragraph. The foreign languages are fun to play with too.
Fun rating: 7
This one's too good to pass up. Highly imaginative and very well done. Check it out - a robot from a mini cooper.
Someone's done an excelent job of mixing CG with real video.

I know nothing will compare to the first movie, but still, this is fun - Super Mario - Reloaded.
Coolness rating: 6.5
Life is getting weirder and weirder (and cooler too). First we have AeroGel, and now we have light transmitting concrete. What's next? See-through toilets?
---Wait, they've already done that.
Coolness rating: 8.5, 6, 2

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.
(Note - reloading this intro page will bring up different intro pages - 19 different ones to date)
Coolness rating: 10+ (It's Strong Bad, what do you expect?)

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.

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!
