WATCH: Floating Cube

The cube is floating. Or is it? This is mind blowing territory for sure… Fun, right?

PLAY: Bustabrain

Remember this guy? You’re going to have to find him. It’s just one of the many micro brain busters in Bustabrain. Good times. Click the pic to get the game.

WATCH: Pneumatic Prank

OK, typically I’m anti-prank as someone always ends-up the victim (that’s not fun), but I’ve been sent this video no less than four times now and I just keep watching it over and over again. Scientists + Air blasts = Fun to watch. What more can you say?

QUICK: Send A Santa Call

A personalized call from Santa? Priceless. No, really, Google made it, so sending a Santa call to a friend is free of charge. It’s amazing how many times this promo had to be promoted on at the bottom of my Google Voice messages before I actually clicked through to check it out. I’m happy I did though… it’s a fun one. You can call Santa toll-free too!

LOOK: Parking Lot Fortune Cookies

All it takes is a stencil, some spray paint, and a mixed bag of old proverbs, wisdom and predictions to turn the average parking lot into a whole lotto fun. Pull into a spot and see what you got. How fun is that? Smart marketing too. Check the full collection after the jump.

GET: KnockKnock Stamps

Congrats to Jen B & Co. on another ultra-fun line. I’m ordering the whole collection now. And there’s loads more where these came from. Check the whole collection after the jump.

PLAY: Jenga

Jenga. Jenga. Jenga. Need we say more. It wobbles shimmies and shakes just like the real thing. Take turns with a friend and see who can last longer. Click the pic to make the jump.

WATCH: I Just Had Sex

Lonely Island nails it again. Literally.

QUICK: Where The Ladies (or Gents) At?

RatioFinder by WeePlaces answers the question the fun way: It looks-up recent check-ins on Foursquare, then lights-up spots with the highest ratios of boys to girls and vice versa. This could be a game changer. It also probably explains why Cashew insists I walk him in McGolrick Park.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: ITP Winter Show 2010

WHERE: NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, 721 Broadway, 4th Floor, South Elevators
WHEN: Monday, December 20th, 5-9PM (yesterday too but, well, you know…)
WHAT: The latest and greatest offerings from the Interactive Technology Program. Rest assured, the stuff the kids in the program come-up with 9 times out of 10 more great than late. This is where FourSquare was born. Can’t make the show? Check out some of this semester’s projects after the jump. It’s good times, in a smart way. Fun.
