PLAY: Basketball

Full screen. 3D. And against the whole world. No really. Even the practice while you wait for the next tournament to start is fun. Click the pic to make the jump.

FUN VIDEO: Boston University LipDub

Brace yourself for an all-school blast of fun-shine. No, really, this is big. Try to watch without moving your lips. Impossible.

QUICK: What’s Your Jersey Shore Name?


You know MTV’s Jersey Shore show? Long story short, it’s another reality show that highlights everything that’s right with the world (only with even more bronzer and hair gel). Don’t fight it. Get in on the action. Step one is getting your Jersey Shore name. Luckily, there’s a Jersey Shore Name Generator with your name on it. From here on out, my name isn’t Jake, it’s “Juice Box.” What’s yours?

QUICK: Stache Attack (Lord Likely’s Extra-Ordinary INter-Active Moustache-O-Rama)

There’s not much to say really… or do (stick the ‘stache to the face) but the joy is in the names. Oh, and don’t be scared to layer. One never can too many.

FUN VIDEO: Typewriter Note-taker

Sometimes it’s funner to be old-school.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Mark Needs A Lift


WHEN: Tomorrow, Friday, December 18th starting at 7:30AM
WHERE: The fun starts outside the entrance to the Staten Island Ferry. From there, it’s a straight shot up Broadway. Check in with his Twitter for specifics throughout the day.
WHAT: Mark Malkoff – he of the living in Ikea thing, the living on a plane thing, the keys to the city thing, and a million other bits of brilliance – is out to prove that New Yorkers are some of the friendliest folks on earth. How? By getting them to carry him all 13.5 miles from one end of Manhattan to the other. It’s like an underground railroad of love, only it’s above ground, and no one is being forced to do anything. Think you’ve got the fortitude, attitude, back and knees to carry Mark? An inch, a block, or a mile, it’s up to you. He’s making history people. How fun is that?

FUN VIDEO: Guitar Hero + Christmas Lights

Just about anything plus Guitar Hero is fun (sex, food, taxes even, it matters not), but sync it up to Christmas lights and you’ve got the kind of party people are going to want in on.

MAKE: 3D Fold N’ Fonts


All it takes is a printer, a scissor and some a minute or four to dress up any desk or cube with 3D writing. Hell, string ‘em together for a tree that really says something. The only request, via creator Tobias Sommer: “If you wanna use this for a commercial project, please contact me. I’ll most probably let you use it for free, but I’d like to know what it is for. I also appreciate it if you send me a link/image of non-commercial projects featuring this font.” Have fun!

FUN IDEA: Paper Everything

This is what happened to “Louie” when he left his keys with his friends. Well played. Me? I can’t get a neat corner on anything…

PLAY: Gimme Friction Baby

Sometimes it’s more fun to rub up against greatness than just to get what you what all in one shot. NOTE: That last sentence is a fancy way of trying to cover-up the fact that I don’t know how this game is played, but as it was recommended by five people now it must me good.
