PLAY: Obey The Game

Mega-small boxes. Mega-fast rounds. Each stage has but one command: Obey or disobey. Can you figure out which and how before your elephant gets it? NOTE: If you only play one flash game today, and this one is it, playing a flash game might be the only thing you do today. Click the pic to make the jump.

FUN VIDEO: Victoria’s Secret Commercial By Michael Bay

I know what you’re thinking, ‘Hot camera angles.’ Yup, Michael Bay is a pro alright.

QUICK: Digg 365


Quick, what was hot December 4th, 2008? Digg celebrates it’s 5th birthday with it’s best visualization tool yet: Digg 365 shows the top 10 stories on any given day, month and year. You can also explore the top 10 stories by category or per year. It’s like a top 10 list on the fly. And did we mention it’s pretty and well animated. Yup, that too.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: WIRED Pop-Up Store


WHERE: 415 West 13th Street (between 9th Avenue & Washington Street), NYC
WHEN: Wednesdays through Sundays, noon to 9pm, through December 27th
WHAT: WIRED’s annual showroom for everything that’s hot, techie, and – more often than not – out of your price range. Of course, there is one thing that’s affordable. I’ll spare you the name (it rhymes with Luckyballs) but you can probably guess what it is. Check out the whole selection online, or pop round the store for a fondle. Either way is good times and, in either case, you can still enter to win the ultimate WIRED dream pack again, featuring those damned Lucky balls. How fun is that?

GET: Don’t Tag Me T


Know a hipster who both hates attention but loves doing things that bring it on (yeah, I know, I’m probably talking about myself with this one)… I think we’ve just found the perfect gift. The T-shirts tag is “Everyone’s got a camera, so where this shirt all the time.” Fun, right?

HONORARY DOGGLER: Danny DeVito

Remember when we said Danny DeVito was on twitter? So are his self-described “troll feet.” In October and November he’s posted over 50 pictures of them in various locations. How fun is that? See if you can ID any.

NERD OUT: Tweet In Klingon


You write it in English, they’re tweet it in Klingon. If it’s not the fastest way to keep people from reading what you tweet, surely it’s the funnest. I kid, I kid.

GET: Bubble Scrubber


Cleaning is no fun. A dish brush that doubles as a bubble wand though? That’s a different story. If anyone is wondering what to get me for the holiday’s, you’ve just found a great stocking stuffer.
