Boomshine from MochiGames is a truly relaxing game – just click once amidst a flock of floating balls of light and watch them expand into colourful patterns to the theme of chilled-out piano music. The object? Get a prerequisite amount of balls to connect to the expanding orbs of light. Not always easy, but as befits a relaxing game, you have unlimited lives…

History of Mankind
I liked the way this history of mankind is represented: in violence, clothing and sex. Lovely little drawings. I’ve always been a fan of the Romans myself :-/

This is SO cool – just type in the title of a song, the artist, a combination and you’ll get a list of options that you can immediately listen to it, rate it, etc. An online jukebox…
What was the first song you looked for? With me it was Summer Love from Justin, again a really cool song from him. I used to not really like him but he’s really grown into an innovative music maker. Or maybe I’m just turning poppy

What side of your brain do you use?

Amazing moving image of a girl spinning round – she changes direction when you start using another side of your brain. Try it with more than one person – crazy how one person sees her change direction while for the other, she keeps going the same way… Can you make her change at will?
If you don’t believe it, here’s someone who added gray lines to the image so you can see the different directions.
What does it all mean? Some say that people who see the dancer moving clockwise (like me) are right brain dominant and tend to be more risk taking and imaginative.
| LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe |
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling “big picture” oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can “get it” (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking |

My favorite song for the moment – I find myself humming it all the time lately. Can’t find any original version though, does anyone know?
I found the guitar tabs! Click here for the chords and here for the picking part (If you start at the fifth fret you get the string notes as they are on the ukelele these guys are playing). Make sure you post your recordings of the song to the comments!

Survival of the fittest
I really liked this cozy story about M&Ms:
Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.
Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.
Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.
When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3×5 card reading, “Please use this M&M for breeding purposes.”
This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this “grant money.” I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.
There can be only one.
