Today we have a Bumper Edition of this feature and feature 20 of the very best websites, images, animation and video.
One certainly has to feel a sense of pity for Mr. Fagot. YuppiePunk lists 9 more unfortunately named people. We also have a more refreshing, laidback view on war by nature of some funny military hand signals. Fancy the fastest internet on the planet? For some reason they’ve given it to a 75 year old Swedish woman. No doubt she’ll take full advantage of being able to stream 1500 channels simultaneously in full High Definition!
- Mixmonsta takes VJ mixing to the next level allowing you to splice 2 videos from the comfort of your web browser.
- 13gb.com has a whole variety of videos, games and images. The humour section is the most updated.
Can the Wonder Twins save Jeff? This is the funniest 2 minute parody cartoon I’ve ever seen!
Would you like to be able to paste in a Youtube address into a box and press download to have that video on your PC? If you would, you’ll need this. Next are a collection of 40 High Resolution images showing insects close up. The photography is highly impressive, although you might prefer the penguins.
Some of these examples of passive-aggressive behaviour had me in stitches. I’m sure many can relate to writing notes to housemates regarding somewhat trivial affairs. Now we have something of an oddity. The Virtual Barbershop asks you to put on your headphones and have a virtual haircut via a type of binaural dose.
Moving on to Flash games Bloxorz is a very inventive puzzle game with good sound and polished graphics. Essentially you have to rotate a cuboid to the target via pushing switches and avoiding gaps. I got to level six, the passcode is 524383 for that. I’ve had a lot more fun with this crossword game than I usually would, on account it being somewhat of a Kriss Kross/Crossword hybrid. Cursor Invisible is a simple but excellent game in the style of whack-a-mole with the lights out.
Eye Spy is an excellent short video morphing together different eyes in a very artistic manner.. the morphing with the astronomical image is especially well done. By contrast the Licensed to Pill animation paints a comedic, if somewhat depressing view of prescription drugs. Social networkers might get a kick out of these common occurences online.
Google Sightseeing is a tool similar to Flash Earth that has been mentioned in a previous thread. It does seem to be more accurate and loading times are very good. Finally today see how insignificant the Earth is when compared to the planets and stars on a relative scale.
