Meet the Gang

It may have become pretty weak, but I had a good browse through the Meet the Gang section of the Official Peanuts Website. The first strip held a lot of promise.

How I PC’d an Apple G5

This person who turned a brand new Apple G5 into an Athlon PC should be beaten. “How I PC’d an Apple G5″.

Juggler

Juggler is simple and addictive. Keep the balls in the air. That’s it.

License Plates of the World is a site about exactly that.

Boxbots

Mixing free time, garbage and a wish to combine the two into robots: Boxbots.

Chicken and Eggs

Chicken and Eggs is a ripoff of Kaboom!, but I still like it.

The amimated rhythm short Drum Machine uses characters from Tokyo Plastic.

Velvet Embraces

“Velvet Embraces” gives you your dream, Elvis in Heaven on a mousepad. But wait, there’s more! Like Dale Earnhardt? He’s there WITH Elvis and Jesus! Don’t forget to buy “Jesus and Elvis meet Diana and Mother Theresa at the Gates of Heaven” before you leave.

It’s old, but I hadn’t seen it: Morto the Magician, written by Steve Martin. Excellent.

Stats

Does anyone here know anything about tracking web stats? That free tracker I use over to the left shows approximately 700 hits a day, while the stat program that sits on my server shows 3,111 successful requests for pages and 2,688 distinct hosts served yesterday. That’s quite a difference. Is the free one just really awful, or is my server software wacky?

Vodafone’s Future Site is extremely well done. Sound and broadband recommended.

Last.fm

I posted a link to the online radio station Last.FM in July, and I “rediscovered” it the other day. I can’t believe there’s only 5 people currently logged in and listening now. The music selection is unbelievably good (to me anyways), and you can skip tracks you hate.

Steelball

I know you use the spacebar to catch it, but Steelball completely defeated me.
