Sickday Links

I’ve been home sick the last cou­ple of days and today while I felt mostly felt fine; I was run­ning a bit of a temp. I couldn’t sleep so to enter­tain myself; I surfed the web and found this links which amused me.

  • Bento | Gmaps:Google Maps with Eng­lish trans­la­tions show­ing eating/dining options in Tokyo, Japan
  • Moth­er­load: A flash based game where you drive a min­ing pod on Mars dig­ging for ore. Sounds silly but it’s strangely addic­tive; I clicked it intend­ing to play for just a few min­utes and ended up spend­ing hours on it today. Then again, part of that could have been the cold medicine.
  • Myth­Busters | Lost Exper­i­ments: The Dis­cov­ery chan­nel has put online short video seg­ments from the Myth­Busters TV show where we get to see never before released footage. :D Very cool!

    Ok, this post was a bit more inco­her­ent than usual. Sorry about that. I guess I wasn’t feel­ing quite as good as I was think­ing. I’m bet­ter today; though I did go back to work *ugh*.

    Also, I found another inter­est­ing link. 25 Lessons I Have Learned (photography).

    Hmmm, those 25 Lessons don’t seem to load in Safari. Guess I’ll have to check ‘em out in Firefox.

    The Myth­busters stuff is pretty cool though — saw that on Slash­dot yesterday.
