This game is sort of like whack-a-mole for 10-keyists. It starts off kind of slow, but it starts getting complicated fast when you get to level 7 or 8. I made it to level 9 with a little over 12,000 points.

This site is kind of like when you go to they eye doctor and they ask you to pick between number one or number two. You’re presented with two images and you simply click the one you like better. Instead of figuring out what the right prescription of glasses would be, however, the page tries to figure out things about you based on your selections. It lets you know when it’s collected enough data for a conjecture by illuminating the brain and making it pink.
I was initially really impressed because it correctly predicted that I was male and something else that I don’t remember. I just messed around with it some more though and it didn’t do a very good job. Although at least I know I project the photographic choices of an upper-middleclass citizen. I said that wasn’t correct, but that got me thinking…what class am I?
Update: Slightly more impressed. It now correctly guessed that I’d rather have a girlfriend than a boyfriend, I was in my 20s, and that I was not an only child.

This Almost Makes Me Wish I Had a Dog
Saturday, September 16th, 2006Yaeka just sent this link to me. It’s a dog that has been groomed to look like the Firefox Dog. It actually is really well done. If you aren’t using Firefox as your internet browser, you should seriously consider it. It’s the bomb.

Let’s See the Neighborhood Kids Do This
Tuesday, September 5th, 2006View these chalk drawings and prepare to be amazed. I haven’t had a chance to look at them at home on my sweet ass monitor yet, but I can already tell that they are insane. The shots with "incorrect angles" that reveal the true scope of the work are what really make an impact.
