Kingdom Of Loathing
Forget Ever Quest or the beta version of World Of Warcraft… save the $12/month and go play Kingdom of Loathing instead. KoL is online turn-based RPG with the BEST GRAPHICS EVER. Period. ;)
Seriously, this is a fun, free game that maintains the best elements of an RPG while constantly making fun of it. For those of you that are worried about another EverCrack addiction, KoL limits you to 40 adventures per day (except for your first day which is 80) which is probably 15-30 mins of game time. But if you don’t use your turns they will rollover up to 200 adv. Come join the fun, then i won’t have to join a lame clan that doesn’t get it’s daily dose of the Soapbox. :D

Robot To The Rescue
See a robot rip a door off a car!… And then have trouble letting the door go. I love robot distruction as much as the next guy, but after seeing this in action and driving around - I’m pretty sure that myself, the firefighters and the jaws of life would all be BBQing by the time this robot got into place to save me.
My favorite part was when the robot was removing an I-beam obstruction from in front of the car door and dropped it on the back of the car: oops!

Back To The Future
I really need to add an eBay category with all of the treasures I am finding, but I’m going camping so oh well. Perhaps I could go back in time and… do it then? instead. You know ’cause there would be more time and….
Anyway, this is really cool. I would be REALLY tempted to buy this if the car wasn’t 23 years old. Wow, I getting up there myself.
Pre-Flush Flash Game
There has been an age old debate between the sexes as to the male’s ability to aim — especially when inebriated. Well, now the debate can be put to rest with the help of a flash game. Have fun, I scored 38K, but the current high score is 55,841 (from someone with more practice peeing drunk, aparently ;) ). Also if anyone can explain what/why/how “J2O” helps your aim… nah, nevermind… I really don’t care.
ASCII Matrix
This can only be described awesome. It is quite impressive that this was done with only streaming characters — it kinda puts the whole smiley face thing to shame. I am both in awe of the skill involved and jealous of the free time apparently available to others.
Wow, Bad
I think i may have found - quite possibly - the WORST web site design EVER. I don’t know maybe it’s a joke, but they have resumes and stuff about how good they are, but then again they have quotes like:
WE DO NOT CONSULT WITH CLIENTS - WE UNLEASH THE PROJECT
Pokemon Mini Hacked
For those of you that don’t want to spring the $200-500 (est.) for the PSP, you can always pick up a Pokemon Mini that has been hacked to play other games (4 so far) in addition to the one that comes on it.
ASUS MyPal
Here are some pics of the soon to be out ASUS MyPal A730 that compare it to the ipaq 41xx, my current PDA of choice.
Oops, Air Marshal
A woman refused to turn off her cel-phone off and take her seat when her plane starting to taxi away from the gates saying
Time For A New Phone
Two women were mugged in the Port Elizabeth in South Africa but the thieves were not impressed one of the mobile phones they were confiscating…
