You know those Search Story Commercials? Now you can make your own at your desk easy-peasy with the Search Stories’ Video Creator. I was too lazy to take a run at it this morning, but if anyone comes up with something smart, let me know. There might be a prize in it for you.

PLAY: Ice Cube Bear

Never has a physics puzzler been this puzzlingly cute. Polar bears were prepared for global warming but an unexpected cold winter trapped them in Ice Cubes. Set them free by removing the cracked cubes, setting off chain reactions that get the frozen bears in the water. Start by clicking the pic to get the game.

PLAY: Hetherdale

“Dr. Heather Montrose finds herself in the heart of Africa, looking for a mysterious hidden city, thought to have only existed in the demented mind of a 18th century poet. Point-and-click to explore the area and solve the mystery of Hetherdale!” this game is more involved than my job, then again, I’ve spent more time on it today than work. Do not click the pic unless you’re ready for a similar commitment. Hell, just loading it takes 26 seconds.

FUN READ: The World’s Most Ingenious Thief


Nothing’s funner than a smart crime story. WIRED Magazine has, well, what might be the smartest; Gerald Blanchard, the man who could steal anything… and pretty much did. One of his more ingenous  heists began before the bank was even finnished being built. Amazing. Have a read - it’s good times - just don’t get any bright ideas.

QUICK: What Would You Do For A Fiverr?

What would you do for $5? Better yet, what would you want someone else to do for $5? Fiverr is the marketplaces where doers meet people with fivers to get stuff done. I just ordered a cartoon version of myself for less than the cost of a beer. How fun is that?
