ASCII Maps

Ascii_maps

Google Maps in ASCII characters. Pure silliness for your enjoyment
by the good people at Poly9 and the invaluable Markus Gebhard
(whose software and timely help were put to good use).

How can you not love a ASCII version of Google maps? I would love to see an ASCII version of google-map directions. I imagine that would be a little tricky to follow. [ ASCII Maps ]

Best.Rectal.Thermometer.Ever.

There are lots of things I could say about this. None of which are appropriate. So I will just say... nope. There is nothing I can say right now without losing this job. I'll just say, did you know that SpongeBob lives in a pineapple under the...

sea. He lives under the sea. That's it. I didn't say anything wrong. Oh god, let there be something else for me to post so I can stop myself from putting my foot in my mouth. [Spongebob Thermometer ]

Seven_minutes_of_terror

In a week from today, there will be one extraordinary feat taking place this May 25 for NASA's engineers, as the Phoenix spacecraft performs a series of challenging maneuvers right before it lands on Mars. This is one of the main reasons why I cannot help but love the internet. How often would you get to see videos about the Phoenix Mars Lander without the internet? Yeah. Not often. I just have one question. Since when did Michael Bay work for Nasa? EXPLOSIONS. [ 7 Minutes of Terror ]

Extra_value_combo_alpha_by_lysol_jo

it would probably look a little something like this: Extra Value Combo Alpha. Wendy, what... big eyes you have. Based on the character selection screen, as created by Lysol-Jones, my money is going on The Noid and the Jack and the Box. I would NOT want to mess with those dudes. To see more art from Lysol-Jones, visit his DeviantArt gallery or his personal site. Oh and  yes, I would buy this game if it truly existed and I would love to see a Carl Jr. and Jack in the box throwdown. Also, is it just me or does Ronald look like Spike from Cowboy Bebop?

Darth Vader Feels Blue

This is truly a touching moment between Luke and his father but you know children, they always are worried about what other people think. Dad's do the most embarrassing things to their children sometimes. Busting out the harmonica is a new all time low, Darth. For shame. Video link thanks to Ryan Thomas.

Chromotron

It’s about a robot that goes back in time for some reason. (His best friend is a talking pie!)
Use your time machine to interact with past versions of yourself in this puzzle/platformer!
You can disable the music in the options menu, or by right-clicking.
VER 1.03 UPDATE: Hopefully fixed weird save bug some of you were having. Altered level 20 slightly.

I like that my "time pod" is totally a Tardis. use your arrow keys or WASD to move, space bar to lift crates and to use your tardis time pod. Each level contains a different puzzle that must be solved by interacting with past versions of yourself. Oh and if you interfere with a past self's ability to return to the Time Pod, you cause a PARADOX! [ Play Chronotron ]

The Emergency Party Button

12:00 PM PT, May 14 2008

The Emergency Party Button began as a novelty idea that has become the focus of every event that goes on in our home. A big red button is, by human nature, an object of compulsion. If you see it, you are overcome with the desire to push it. But what happens when you do?

For $634.00 dollars, you can have your very own Haddaway themed emergency party at the touch of one very tempting large red button. What I love most about is that your emergency party packs up just as fast as it started. I think it's safe to say that everyone needs more giant red party buttons in their homes. If you had the means to do so, a few thousand dollars more and you could go Bond-style with the EPB (Emergency Party Button, of course), complete with pop-up bars and rotating furniture. Party on Wayne, Party on Garth...[The Emergency Party Button ]

The Game                                                 

Each player throws a slice of cheese onto the BBQ.          

The player whose cheese fully inflates first wins!

The professional sport of cheese racing started in 1997 when a group of cheese-loving friends put individually-wrapped cheese slices onto a barbecue grill just to see what would occur. To these cheese lovers' surprise, the plastic did not melt. instead the cheese expanded creating cheese pillows The objective of cheese racing is to see whose slice inflates to it's maximum capacity first.

MUTO is a wall-painted animation that chews up everything in its path. Must have taken a while to complere and in the process covered a lot of people's hard graffiti work.  Kinda reminds me of 99rooms.

About the Blogger
Christie St. Martin
Christie St. Martin
Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda, and educated at two Canadian universities which would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's Best Week Ever and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation.
