Dance Dance Revolution For Your Fingers
This little flash game is setup like Dance Dance Revolution, but you use your fingers and have to hit certain keys on the keyboard. I’m better at this than the one where I use my legs — but not much (made it to level three after a few tries).
A Google-Sponsored Google Fight
Well, sort of. Many moons ago I linked to GoogleFight, but Google Trends now does a similar thing, but shows search and news trends which I think is more useful than just raw link numbers. Bubble Boy has a couple great examples of how various searches seems to exactly match Bend’s housing boom.
200 Local Blogs Now Indexed At BendBlogs.com
Yeah, it’s no ORBlogs with its (as of this writing) 1057 blogs, but we now have 200 blogs listed at BendBlogs.com with the 200th being written by a Bend-La Pine school board member.
I’ve now automated the process of searching for new blogs (and I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before) using Google Alerts and the searches I used before.
Some of the feeds don’t get updated that often, but the are some interesting new blogs that I’ve found recently including a local chess club, Harold’s blog, a Central Oregon endurance racing blog, great commentary by Talapus Pete, a Prineville Healthblogger, Simone’s latest venture, Jon’s latest venture, as well as a bunch of LiveJournal and MySpace blogs.
Be sure to check out all these newly found local blogs, and if there is anything I’m missing, something that needs to be removed, etc…, please let me know or submit it here.
Flash Game Fix For The Day
This isn’t one game, but several small games, each that take four seconds to finish.
Best Buy Invasion
Considering how helpful I’ve been in the past to Best Buy shoppers (don’t get me started about the guy who was recommending McAfee over Grisoft, just because “you get what you pay for”), I really should just try this.
Thanks djbahls for the link.
Nice Desktop Icons
I’m just mostly booking marking this for my own reference, but I’m sure somebody else might find it handy.
The Endless Forest
This looks fascinating, and while I never use screensavers (I prefer to just have my monitor turn off), I might start using this one.
Screw Dr. Phil
I’m going to watch Mr. T’s new show.
