Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

Sometimes a mash-up can teach you how not to get mashed up. Or how to dress. How fun are those pants? Anyone want to send me a pair of Zubaz? I swear I’ll wear ‘em. Really.

Wha!?  It’s the weekend again?  Where did that come from?  Been a hectic, long week at work so this weekend it’s time to kick back and chillax. What are you up to?  Let us know in the comments.  The most funnest idea wins, well, something!

Can a snowboard boot be fun? Um, in the case of the Danny Kass limited edition Double Tongues, I’m gonna have to say yes. They’ve got two tongues. Think about it. Two. I’d wear these things on the street.

Make the man say anything you like. Yup, it’s another one of those. You type it. He writes it. How fun is… er, someone beat me to it I see.

Ready for this, plug in any two to seven letters into the Scrabble Solver, and it’ll give you any (every maybe?) combination of words that can possibly be made. That’s good stuff for Scrabble Lovers, but just as good for desk dwellers… Yesterday, looking for the shortest words that make the most other words had me going for at least 10 minutes. Did you know Zoomdoggle spells 87 words? Among them: GLOOMED DOGLEG GOOGOL LOGGED LOOMED ZOOMED LODGE MODEL OGLED DEMO DOOM DOZE GOLD LOGO MOLD EGG. Hamster, though 3 letters shorter, makes over 150 more words.
Take a poke around, if you come up with anything interesting, let us know below.

The myth of Sisyphus reenacted. It’s been an animal themed week around these parts, but hey, when it works, it works.

Use your mouse to fly the chopper, popping the baloons then returning to the pad. Some pops are good. Some, not so good. Obviously it gets harder. Click the pic to get the game. Read the rest of this entry »

Simply put, meet the most frustrating game I’m ever met (Ze Frank, as always, you are my hero). The challenge is to hold the mouse button down while clicking the box for 0.2 seconds, 0.4 seconds, then 0.6, 0.8, and so on. You need to be within 0.1 seconds of the target time to advance to the next time. You only get three tries per level. So far, my personal best? Level 9, a respectable 1.8. How far did you get?

Oh. My. God. Oh my god. Really. Come on. For real. The car was done with Sharpie over top of the paint and then finished with a clear coat. It took about 2 weeks total but will live in my dreams forever. More pictures after the jump. Oh, and a dollar to the first person who sends me a picture of their Honda (or whatever) wearing a fun coat of marker.
