neato flash games

Noticed a bunch of cool games on this blog, so I'll just link the blog instead of all the individual games.

stuff people say

Gal yesterday:

"Where are your true stories?"

Little girl up in the loft today:

"Mom! I see you down there mom! You're so small down there! Why are you so small down there!"

Courtney, describing Ohio to the wife:

"It's like a giant Fresno"

Way to get us psyched up for our visit!

useful site

Old Version is a site that archives previous releases of popular software.

Very hand when that nifty freeware utility you can't live without suddenly starts charging, or a favorite releases a crap-tastic new version that makes you want to smash your monitor with a bat.

game: faux-Risk

An abstract version of the classic boardgame, courtesy of those crazy Japanese.

Strangely compelling!

Contrast podcast

I generally get my new music cues from Hype Machine, Pitchfork, one of the music blogs I check or even the clued-in cats at the record shop next door.

The arrival of my iPod has opened up the avenue of the podcast.

Walking to work is the perfect time to audit new tunes, and slapping a podcast or two on the machine is the work of seconds.

My favorite one lately is the Contrast podcast, a group effort with themed contributions from a bunch of music bloggers from around the world.

I never like everything, but I always hear something great that's new to me.
