Awesome Collection Of Retro Handheld Games
Geeky.
Cute.
Old-school.
Time-thief.
It's way too easy to spend a lot of time over at Hipopotam's digitalised collection of handheld electronic games going through all of them. I heartily recommend you give it a shot, as I'll feel a lot better about my habit.
Gandini Juggling From Above

So this is just cool. I especially love the illusion created by the arc the batons follow on their way to the next performer, as if they're slowing down in mid-air. Hope you like it too!

This video isn't deep, it's not a thoughtful commentary on anything at all... but I kinda love it. I imagine this must have taken quite a bit of doing too, but hey I was entertained for a whole two minutes, that's gotta be worth something right?
Do You Hate Your Kids?
Funny.
Wrong.
If you hate your kids and live in Switzerland then you're in luck, because you can hire Dominic Deville. He dresses as a creepy clown and stalks your children for up to a week, trying to find an opportunity to "smash a cake into the face of his victim". If they survive until their birthday without being grabbed or finding some way of fighting back against the monstrous entity dogging their trail, the child is presented with a cake as a reward.
So that's nice.

Well this was definitely a welcome addition to my day when I came across it, so much so that I struggled to withhold it until Star Wars Day! I'm sure there are a fair few of you that will appreciate as much as I did, if not more.
H.P. Lovecraft Answers Relationship Questions
Funny.
Geeky.
Wrong.
Old-school.
Ever wonder what a "Dear Abby" column would be like if the guru being appealed to for advice was none other than H.P. Lovecraft? Well wonder no more! Mr James Warner has been kind enough to produce this advice column which lays bare the inner workings of dear Howard's more romantic side.
Big thanks to Mr Fish for this link, it made my day.
