Thankfully, I didn’t have to resort to coupling cables with Lego men.

Time Killers For The Evening
In an attempt to waste some worker productivity tomorrow…
- Tuper Tario Tros is Mario Bros. meets Tetris (the controls are a bit wonky — hit X or S to jump — but the concept is interesting).
- physBallz is a simple concept — contect the like colored balls — but gets really stupidhard on some levels.
- Yet another physics game: Magnetic Moment.
- Kill the Wabbits a fun little game of rabbit violence.

Obligatory Post-Holiday Wrap-up
I really hope everybody had a safe and happy holiday all around. We had a great time with friends and family for the last few days. We are fortunate to have a lot of relatives close by so we didn’t have to leave the area and try to drive too far, and it was great seeing all of them.
I’m obviously not a rich man (far from it, according to my bank account balance), and while we couldn’t afford to gifts for everybody (we have large families between my wife and I — mostly my wife), we did our best to spoil our girls and make sure close family got something from us. We did manage to spend time and enjoy the holiday with a lot of friends and family and I know everybody was happy and couldn’t really care any less what we got them (nor did we care if we received anything from anybody). I’m just grateful and very thankful to have such great friends and family, and it was wonderful seeing all of them.
That being said, we still got spoiled rotten by people who we would’ve just been happy spending time with — the gifts were just a bonus. Since Nathan asked about the loot, so here is the rundown of it from and for all the folks in the family.
Why Are You Here?
Seriously, why are you reading this? Shouldn’t you be with your family or something?
Wait a minute — why am I not spending time with my family?
Have a Merry Christmas everybody. Hopefully it’ll be good to yours and your family. I’ll be back online in a couple days.
Happy Festivus!
Happy Festivus everybody! It’s time for the Airing of Grievances. Got a gripe about anything? Comment below.

Time Killer For The Evening
The premise behind Lint is simple: Run and jump as fast as you can through all the levels. But its simple graphics and tricky levels make it a bunch of fun.
