Make a drawing… get a drawing. This quaint little site will give you a blank canvas to leave your mark. You’ll then receive a drawing from someone else doing the same. If making a drawing isn’t you thing, give file swap a try (from the same folks as sketch swap). It’s works the same way,… Read more »

Licorice Mentos
I was looking around Walgreen’s today, checking out the Mentos selection (which I do at just about every store that I go into) when I ran across something interesting… Black Licorice Mentos! I’ve had these before, but it’s be quite a while since I’ve seen them… and never in the U.S. The last roll I… Read more »

Toothbrush and Tunes
I bouth a package of Aquafresh toothbrushes and found a code for three free songs on the package. What a toothbrush has to do with music downloads, I have no idea! The unfortunate part about it is that the music is from Sony’s Connect music store where you can only download DRM-ridden Windows Media Audio… Read more »
Lemmings in a Browser
I guess this is along the same lines as my recent “old school games” posts. Someone has created a web version of Lemmings using DHTML. It has been quite some time since I’ve played this game! I started playing and got hooked on it last night making it all the way to level 11. I… Read more »
Super (Bowl) Ads
Last night was the big game! Who was playing again? I was watching it for the commercials. The one time of year when companies go all out and pay millions of dollars for 30 seconds.

Four Things
OK, so it looks like I got tagged. I guess this is kind of the blog equivalent to chain letters. I better do it or be doomed to a life of unhappiness.

Bubble
Earlier this week, I went to the Bijou (The University of Iowa’s indie/art film theater) to see Steven Soderbergh’s new film, Bubble. I’ve been a fan of his movies for a while (Erin Brockovich, Ocean’s 11, Ocean’s 12, Traffic, The Limey, and others) so I was expecting to enjoy this one as well. Outside of… Read more »

Another addition in the posts about old-school computer games (post1, post 2). Here’s a site where you can play classic Commodore 64 games in your web browser (this one uses java).
Pickr and Fastr
If you build a tool off of Flickr, it apparently must end in the “er” sound spelled with only the letter “r”. Anyway, I ran across some more cool Flickr do-dads. ColorPickr ColorPickr is just a color palette that pulls images from Flickr based on the color that you chose. Fastr Fastr is actually a… Read more »

Slickr This is a really slick screensaver (hence the name) that pulls images from Flickr and does a nice Ken-Burns-Like fade between them in a screensaver. You can chose to only use your Flickr images, or certain groups, or just random photos (that’s what I’ve got mine set on). Retrievr This is just a cool… Read more »
