I’m at home laid up with a cold, trying to get some work done from home today. If you’re at work, and don’t feel like working, you’re welcome.

Real-Life Mario Kart
As an old-school Nintendo junkie, this just makes me laugh — even if it’s French:
Something To Put On The Resume
How many CIS students can say they spent a couple months building a scene from Super Mario Bros. 3 entirely out of pushpins?
I’m sure that’ll look good to future employers. Link via Geekologie.
Something to Suck Down The Bandwidth
It’s Video Link Dump Time! Videos after the jump:
The Ultimate Thanksgiving Bird
You’ve heard of Turducken, right? It’s got nothing on Turbaconducken, a chicken stuffed in duck stuffed in a turkey, all wrapped in bacon. It’s a heart attack waiting to happen, but man I bet it tastes good.
Duct Tape Use #1857
Restraining unwieldy airline passengers.
Update with correct link this time.
Another Reason to Love Google: LIFE Photography Archive
Google is now hosting LIFE Magazine’s photo archive. Some of the world’s most memorable news photos were published in that magazine, and having an archive of the LIFE library — most of which were never published — is an amazing resource.

Best Halloween Costume Ever
While we all know how much I love Halloween, I would dress up in this costume.
The Snow Is Falling
There is a good chunk of snow on the highway and around my office. I’ll be getting my snow tires on my car tomorrow so I can hopefully have a bit of help when the out-of-town crazy drivers try to run me off the road in their four-wheel-drive.
In the meanwhile, here’s a fun and simple little winter-themed game. I got 53970 after a few attempts — how’d you do?
More Time Killers
Since co-workers are getting annoyed that they have nothing to do and that I’m not posting enough games, here are a few more (feel free to share more in the comments):
- Splitter, a fun, but frustrating little physics puzzle game (there’s a walk-through here, should you need it).
- Shift 3, a sequel to a platformer I posted a while back (thanks Peter for the link).
- rLax, a fast-paced click-fest.
- The Eyeballing Game — how close can you get to making true shapes?
- Commando, for you folks who feel like spending your morning defending the Allies from the scourge of Europe.
- Boombot 2, because dropping bombs to shoot a little robot around the screen is fun (walkthru).
