Treasure Box

[Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:20:26 GMT] - Time for a little Monty Python meets Rube Goldberg (though, I think Monty Python animations are, in general, influenced by Rube Goldberg, so maybe that's a little redundant). Treasure Box is a puzzle game with some very stylized graphics where you have to figure out how to pass a ball from start to finish through a series of mini-puzzles. It's really not that hard, but fun to play. Play the game: Treasure Box (excerpt)

Sling Jumper 2

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:52:54 GMT
[Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:52:54 GMT] - Sling Jumper 2, like its predecessor, is a fun puzzle game where you control a ball bouncing between slings on the screen while trying to achieve a specific goal (reach the portal). Early levels are fairly simple, but it gets challenging really quick. The physics in the game includes gravity, and you're restricted by all the forces that are acting upon your ball at all times. So sometimes you have to think a little in order to pass a specific level. It's all fun and games: Sling Jumper 2 (excerpt)

Homemade Rollercoaster

[Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:55:02 GMT] - Pretty interesting video at Dig Your Own Grave about a man who built his own roller coaster in his back yard. It's not the Great American Scream Machine, but it's pretty cool. I'd ride on it. Check it out:Homemade Roller Coaster (excerpt)

Bomomo - Painting tool

[Mon, 09 Jun 2008 00:04:14 GMT] - Not really a tool, per se, but I'm not exactly sure where I should categorize this. This is a fun little painting tool for creating abstract works. Jackson Pollock, you got nothing on Bomomo (okay, maybe you do...but you're crazy). Have fun painting: Bomomo (excerpt)

[Wed, 28 May 2008 12:20:30 GMT] - This is a multi-stage puzzle game. The puzzles are pretty challenging, requiring several steps. I spent 10 minutes on the first one alone. But then again, I'm dumb. Here's the link: The Several Journeys of Reemus (excerpt)

Mentos in Coke Record Breaker

[Tue, 20 May 2008 11:46:17 GMT] - Ever seen that trick where you drop Mentos mints in Coke? The Coke fizzes up and shoots a stream straight up into the air. Believe it or not, there's actually a record for the amount of simultaneous Mentos/Coke fountains. It was just broken again: 1,500 students donning rain gear launched an equal number of mentos/coke fountains. View the pictorial. (excerpt)
