- Check out the social commentary being made here. A Brazilian artist has used various countries’ flags to enlighten us about current socioeconomic conditions around the world. Creative and poignant. (Thanks to Barenaked Ladies’ blog for the link.)
- For further insightful reading, check out Andy of Vermont’s essay, “How Do I Know Christianity is Real?” Andy’s testimony is both sincere and thought-provoking. I believe anyone, regardless of their faith, could benefit from giving it a read.
- Though its taste may often be questionable, VH1’s Best Week Ever blog often points its readers to rather amusing locales on the Internet. Most recently, it has pointed to the upcoming World Beard and Moustache Championships to be held in Germany this October. The pictures of previous contenders are definitely worth a gander. Also, check out this horrific “rock” video from Mr. T. Were the 80’s really that long ago?!? Yikes!
- Little Fluffy Industries continues its daily linkage to free online-games. Some real time-wasters that have caught my eye include Chaos Theory (simply see how big a chain-reaction you can set off), Click the Colour (a brain-teaser where colors don’t match the words you’re supposed to select), Sugar Crash (like Arkanoid with a cartoonish twist), and Avoider (a surprisingly hard game where you have to protect your cursor—it’s not in English, but you can probably figure out how to start it). As always, I’m drawn primarily to games that have little or no point, but which simply challenge me to outdo myself. What else should wasting time be about?

Some worthwhile pages I’ve run into lately:

That also came from the Best Week Ever blog. There's a link to it in my sidebar. It's not listed with the other blogs, but rather with the "Humor & Entertainment/Games" links. It's usually full of celebrity gossip and junk like that, but it can be pretty funny and provide some worthwhile gems now and again. In fact, they recently put up a link to a pretty funny short film called "Robin's Big Date," wherein Batman annoyingly hones in on Robin's attempts at romance.
ReplyDeleteThey post quite frequently, usually several posts a day. That means most of their posts are only visible on their main page for a day or two. So, if you want to see Batman without tracking it down in their overwhelmingly abundant archives, you best get there pronto. (And the game called "The Golden Republic at the Rockstar Hotel" is also kind of fun, though a bit confusing to figure out. I think you might like it, Amie-J.)
Thanks for the recognition! Looks like I'm in good company :)
