From The Fun Theory, a project by Volkswagen and the ones who brought us the piano staircase, comes bottle bank arcade.  Again the question is posed, “If we make it fun, will people start doing it?”  Yes, they will.

Thanks, Luna!

More fun with movie posters and Photoshop can be had at The Chive.  Inspired by a Worth 1000 contest, users re-imagine popular movies if one letter in their title was changed, or removed.  Here, The Chive lays claim to The Ark Knight and No Country For Old Hen.

Cupcake Cones

Posted by Jill Harness in Baby & Kids, Food & Drinks on July 30, 2009 at 7:30 pm

Love iced cream cones but hate the iced cream? Then you’ll love these Cupcake cones on Instructables with plenty of instructions (naturally) to make your own sweettreats at home.

Delicious, clever, and surprising, these cupcakes impersonating ice cream cones are sure to delight!

Now that’s a quote that I can’t begin to dispute.

Holi: The Festival of Colors

Posted by Queuebot in Pictures, Religion on March 16, 2009 at 12:04 am

Early March saw the annual spring Festival of Color, or Holi, in the Hindu world.  If you are a clean freak, then Holi may not be for you.  As part of the festival it is people’s religious duty to splatter, smatter and smother as many others as possible with colored paint and water.  As religious festivals go, this is one of the messier.

If you live in a large, multi-ethnic city virtually anywhere in the world it is a possibility that in the last week you have seen groups of people in parks merrily spattering each other with paint. While you might be excused for thinking that it is a new form of corporate team building – and what a great one that would be – you would be wrong. The throwing of multi-colored water and powder is in fact the popular Hindu spring Festival of Colors, also known as Holi.

Post-it Note Artwork!

Posted by Queuebot in Arts & Crafts, Blog & Internet, Cartoon & Comic, Funny, Pictures on February 12, 2009 at 4:47 pm

Post-it notes arn’t just for jotting down random notes.  This ever growing collective of artists have been drawing on post-it notes in their spare time at work and posting to this blog on a regular basis.

“this blog was originally dedicated to documenting the post-its i doodled while at work. however, this blog has grown beyond it’s original intent to encompass the post-its drawn by me and and any post-it compatriots who deem to grace it’s halls with their own artfull pictographs.”

Virtual Etch-a-Sketch

Posted by Stacy in Blog & Internet on January 25, 2009 at 8:54 pm

I was never any good at the real Etch-a-Sketch, and I’m certainly not any better at the virtual version. This picture to the left was done on a real Etch-a-Sketch (you can see more on the Ohio Art site), but maybe you’ll do just as well online. Let us know how you fare!

High Stakes Antics At The Preakness

The Triple Crown never seemed so two-sided. 

There are those who go to the races to see and be seen.  The rich and famous, and the classy entourage they bring with them. 

And then, there’s this crowd…sound is mildly NSFW.

Sure, it may not be the smartest behavior, but doesn’t this  spontaneous-looking game say something about culture?

Mess With Your Mind Without Drugs

Posted by Jill Harness in Everything Else, Science & Tech on January 12, 2009 at 11:14 pm

Boston.com has a very cool chart detailing how to mess with your mind’s perceptions, naturally. I think the most interesting one is definitely the first one. It tells you how to hallucinate with ping pong balls and a radio. If you’ll excuse me, I need to go cut some ping pong balls in half and listen to static for the next hour or so.

FactoryBalls - Another Flash Game

Posted by Stacy in Flash Games on January 4, 2009 at 10:04 am


You guys seemed to enjoy the Brown Dyed Hotel game from last night, so here’s another one I spent way too long playing yesterday. You get a bin of plain white balls, and you’re shown a box with a picture of a ball that has a pattern or additions or some other type of alternation. You’re given a set of a tools and have to figure out how to make the plain white ball look like the picture on the box using those tools.

It starts easy, but it gets challenging! And when you finish that one, there’s FactoryBalls 2, which I think is even more inventive. Grass seed, anyone? Have fun!

Maybe it’s just a childhood fascination, but I adore hedge mazes. After fun Halloween corn mazes and the movie Labyrinth, who wouldn’t? WebEcoist has a great collection of mazes for your viewing enjoyment. Enjoy!

Zwingo

Posted by Algonkin in Flash Games on December 7, 2007 at 11:32 am

“Zwing” your ball around using the mouse, smashing all the black balls of screen. The aim is to protect the white ball in the centre at all times. If the white ball leaves the boundary, the game’s over. Every 10 levels, you’ll face a boss that you have to continually hit until he runs out of health and goes off screen.

As you hit each ball out of the screen, you gain experience points (xp). The harder you hit the ball, the more xp you collect.
