A few weeks ago we took an overnight trip to OCNJ — just to get away, and to root on David, who ran in the Ocean Drive 10 Mile Run (and finished in the top 100). Chilly OCNJ Weekend

Magic Pen – Draw Your World
In what looks like an 80% “repurposing” of Crayon Physics, Magic Pen is a puzzle game that allows you to draw your own freeform physical objects in order to manipulate existing objects — namely, nudging the red ball to the flag. But in a unique twist, you can create pins & hinges (which, in practice, […]
Ten Thousand Cents
Check out Ten Thousand Cents, a Mechanical Turk project. Each participant was paid a penny to draw one section of a hundred dollar bill. Ten thousand of these images, at one cent apiece, make up $100 (clever). U.S. users spent just under 3 minutes, on average, creating their little slice. That’s less than $0.20/hour for […]

The Dumbing Of America
Susan Jacoby of the Washington Post recently lamented on The Dumbing Of America. She claims that Americans are not only becoming more and more ignorant, but increasingly proud of that said ignorance. “Anti-Rationalism” and “Anti-Intellectualism” are part of the new American Way – do you agree? Personally, I think it’s one of the defining characteristics […]

Please welcome the newest member to the Blogroll: Life On The Left. I think the initial list of topics — crafts, food, fun, politics, raw, vegan — are a good indication of what to expect. 🙂
Marble Madness!
Raise your hand if you remember the game Marble Madness. Uh huh… 1, 2… ok. Well, today’s Flash Friday should help you get your nostalgia on… Contour takes the Madness and gives it a great twist.
