After the first welcome page, you do NOT have to click anything… Bit of a brain bender at first, and then you get used to it pretty quick. Maybe one day, the next big thing will be the NO-button mouse. http://www.dontclick.it/

Vampire Squid – the stuff of nightmares.
Via Pharyngula. Ladies and Gentlemen. Vampyroteuthis infernalis. Also Known As “I think I just crapped my extreme depth suit.” Kinda freaky when you look at the images on WikiPedia (that’s the link above), but way more schpookie when you see this video (apologies in advance regarding any offensive popups or anything on the sidebars of…
The coolest video you’ll see this year (if you like lots and lots of cars flying around)
http://www.joystiq.com/2006/09/02/the-coolest-video-youll-see-this-year/ Someone crammed 1,000 cars into a physics engine. It’s sorta freaky beautiful, and I wanna know what kinda hardware was running that demo (which looks much smoother in the screen that the above pic may lead you to believe).
Podcast: Unknown Origins Episode 2
So Johnny Vancouver and I sat down once again (after only, what – six/seven/eight months?) and did a show. This one’s longer than our last, at something silly like 1hr 25mins. Here’s the main link (right-click to download, or hit the little blue arrow to play it via Flash, which will start streaming sooner, but…
Oldschool Eyecandy: Bryce 5.0 is Free Now
There’s probably not too many of my readers who’ll remember this application from when it first came out, but Bryce 5.0 is now free for download (the latest version Bryce 5.5 is still about $100). Wanna make shiny balls that hang in the air, and huge burning planets in the background, like this one? Get…
Hullo – Voice-Over-IP for folks who don’t have highspeed connections.
I don’t know how long they’ll keep it free, but www.hullo.com has released a beta of their foray into the VOIP arena. You can give it all of your phone numbers (I’m just waiting to see if they start spamming me with marketing calls or something), and you can dial out to land lines for…
New theme…
So, I’m playing with the mind-gobblingly well-done new theme [Visitered Little] on my WordPress (go [here] to see it, if you’re reading this via RSS or LiveJournal, or something). What do you think? Now I just need to find a picture that I took that I want as wallpaper.
Vacay06 Day Two: In which our heroes drove & flew and sat around, and then flew and drove again.
We’re here, and it’s late (for here), and so this’ll be short. We were only “those people” with “those children” for about 15 minutes during the first (and longest leg) of our journey, so all in all, it went really well. Ripley looked out the window at stuff, and Tate was just cute and sleepy…
A trip down memory lane for us Sesame Street Kids
Folded Space has a great colleciton of links for video clips from Sesame Street. Awesome. From the site: I state quite confidently that this is the best entry I’ve made in five years of weblogging. Go away if you have work things to get done. This is an enormous time-waster. Below you’ll find a fantastic…
The Amen Break (a history of a sample)
via digg and mobius32 This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the “Amen Break,” a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music — a six-second clip that spawned…
