That's How It Happened

I cannot recommend strongly enough, that you never choose to do nightwork. Eventually you get used to staying up all hours, and after a while you even manage to sleep during the day. But it still destroys your critical faculties, and purges you of intellectual curiosity. From 1 a.m. until sunrise, I'm like an automaton. Hence my insighful comments, may be somewhat less than insightful today:

The Skeleton Shop, a beautiful flash game, with a clever interface.

Let Them Sing It For You, a singing thingy, using words sampled from classic pop songs, reassembled into new lyrics.

Fuck It: The Game, really hard flash game combining elements of Tetris and Boggle. I'm just sucking at it, I can't figure out a single strategy for success, and my top score is 0.001% of the posted high score. Infuriating.

The internet is like a polluted New Delhi sewer, and that's just the worms, spam, and viruses, not the content. (Hooray for macs)

The Estimation Quiz. Takes time to complete, but really interesting. You get points for accuracy, but more points for estimating your inaccuracy correctly. I got 34%, but like I said, I'm asleep inside.

New species of shark discovered in captivity.

Incredible works of head-shaving, complete with tales of escape from communist Vietnam, and a $2 coupon to have your own head transformed into a masterpiece.

Fat kid eats 20 In-and-Out cheeseburgers in a single sitting, documents same on own blog, and gets 300+ messages of extreme abuse from anti-carnivores, anti-americans, anti-fatties, anti-gays, anti-bad web designers. Becomes meme in own right. Awesome work fat dude.
