Flash Time Killers For The Day

Sorry, not much time for blogging today, but have been killing time on these two little puzzlers (you’ll have to sit through an ad on the last one) the last couple days. Enjoy.

Great Build-Your-Own PVR Resource

I’m bookmarking this great community site mostly so that when I finally get around to building a Freevo, I’ll have good resources.

Why Didn’t I Think of This?

Because I guess I’m just not all that smart. This guy’s got one-million pixels for sale on his page. You can buy a pixel for $1 (in blocks of 100). Buy a big ad, or small, and you have the million dollar home page. He still has over 800,000 pixels left, but that means he’s sold nearly $200,000 worth of space.

Still a damn brilliant idea. Anybody want to front $100 for an utterlyboring.com perma-link on there? The donate page is here.

Addicting Flash Games For The Day

Nothing like a little Flying Monkey Space Game (with a really poorly placed skyscraper ad) and a simple (but addicting) jumping block puzzle game to kill off a work day (there are actually a lot of great quick little games at that latter site).

The Programming Board Game

If you want to get your kids learning C++ by the time they’re in the first grade, better start ’em young.

Did I Miss The Memo?

Apparently so, as Rob at AboutItAll started blogging again last week. Guess I need to add him — again — back to my RSS reader (you’re keeping me on my toes, Rob, that’s for sure).

The only reason I knew? ORBlogs weekly e-mail had a mention of it in there.

Programmer Cheat Sheets

There are cheat sheets all over the Web for a variety of programming languages. The one great thing about this page is that it has over 30 of them all sorted and linked to in one place, saving me a ton of trouble.

Easy Chess

Finally, a chess game that I have a chance at beating the computer player. And I did. Once. Out of five times I played. I suck.

Fun Flash Game For The Day

Nothing like a off-the-wall, weird little flash game to kill off your work day.

Cooking With Irons

I’m bookmarking this as you never know when your oven or cooktop is out and you’ll have to cook a full breakfast with an iron.
