OK, brace yourself, we finally cracked the code: Cubes are better than Balls!

It’s embarressing how long it took me and the rest of Team Bucky to come to that realization, but in all fairness there was lots of experimentation, trepidation, frustration, and yes, even a vacation. There was also an explosion or two. Thankfully, we have a fire extinguisher now.

Anyway, I still don’t have much time for blogging, but behold, the fruits of our labors: Buckycubes. They’re even easier than Buckyballs to pick up, but even harder to put down. Say goodbye to Mashing and Molding, the future is all about Bending and Folding. Check the video to see ‘em in action…

Skateboards + Spray paint = Fun! The pool adds a lot, but the equation holds up regardless.

Did you know you could devolop film using coffee and vitimin C? Me neighter. Check the how-to above. Fun, right?

The goal here is to yellow objects with brown by smashing them together while avoiding green. Pinks get clicked to destroy. Bombs go off when you click ‘em. Click the pic to get the game. Good times. Yup.

Ok, so here’s a weird one… Wayyyyy back when, durring the Ford Fiesta days (those were fun times), I had the pleasure of going to a pretty serious recording studio uptown to make a music video with Jeremy Carr. See above. Don’t judge, I was in it, and I shot it, and edited it. Not things I’m all that talented at. Monkeying around in the studio was fun though. Did I mention how serious the place was? StadiumRed has played host to everyone from T.I. and Kanye West to Yo-Yo Ma and the San Fransico Symphony Orchestra and have the Grammys to prove it.

How does this apply to you? For just $99 they’ll let you and 4 friends get on the mic for 2 hours and sing to your hearts content over any of the 10,000 hip-hop, pop and R&B tracks they’ve got on file. It’s BYOB and you get to leave with a disc of your “creation.” How fun is that? Offer only avaialbe for the next twelve days. Get on it!

Yes, this is a Samsung advert. But you’ve got to admit it looks fun. As with most things, Instructables has the full how-to. Pefect way to kill a day in your cube.

WHEN: July 10, 2011, 3-7pm
WHERE:McCarren Park, Brooklyn
WHAT:It’s hard to say exactly… the finals of a build-competition spectacle sounds about right. I’ve never seen anything like this and certainly not in my own back yard. Watch the video for details, click the link for more, see you there this weekend. Yup.

LINK: Redbull.

First, let me start by saying, “No need to email, I know I’m a wee bit late on this.” In fact, I’m going to be late on a lot of things while Zoomdoggle gets caught up. Luckily, these movies are still the classics they were when the game came out 6 months ago. The game is still well designed and fun. And, for the moment, I’d like to think my top score of 18 is something to be proud of. Beat it if you dare.

And in related news, RecordSetters has just kicked off a partnership with Stride Gum and there’s $50,000 at stake! That’s right, set a record today and you could pocket cash tomorrow. Good times, yeah? Ready to get in on the action? CLICK HERE.

As promised, each of these headlines reads like they were clipped from the Onion. They weren’t (they link to the articles for proof). Every day brings new gems. Check the complete list, 30 or so and counting, after the jump. Fun, right?

This is what happens when skydivers watch OK GO! Also the reason my next job or office is going to have a wind tunnel. Admit it, it looks like fun.

LINK: via Neatorama. Thanks to Mike G for sending it in. Yup, I’ve been gone for a while, but I’ve been reading your emails.

Ready to find your furry-match? Upload a shot of your face to the Doggelganger (a clever marketing initiative for doggy addoption down under) and let it works it’s magic. I wanted to upload a shot of my own dog to see what kind of dog it thinks he’d match up best to, but Cash refused to sit still for the portait. Oh well.

Brace yourself, Instructables has the how-to you’ve waited a lifetime for… Cadbury Eggs Decoded! Ready for the shocker? It seems to be blindingly easy. Especially if you’re not married to the mold. Have a go. Let us know how it turns out.

You’re probably going to need headphones if you’re at work… and help if you’re not at least 25. 30 questions in total. I got 24. Boom!

NOTE: Not only do the pictures have nothing to with the quiz, they’re not even the right decade. But they were already on my machine and Mr T always makes me smile. Don’t hold it against me.

… better yet, let The Resolution Generator make one for you. Posting what you got below is probably a fun idea too as I had to run the program 3 or 4 times before I realized it was actually reacting to how I answered the questions. Yup.

Sometimes scary and fun dance hand in hand. Hopefully they never rob a bank is all…

Consider this a test: Watch this video twice and if you don’t feel all warm and fuzzy something is seriously wrong. Seriously.

Above is what the last few days of Zoomdoggle look like in LOL Cat-a-vision. Turns out you can make any site LOL by putting the code http://lol.ianloic.com/feed/feeds.feedburner.com/ before the name of any site that uses Feedburner. Fun, right?

Finish this sentence: Bullseye darts is…
A. Simple.
B. Mesmerizing.
C. Frustrating.
D. Fun.
If you guessed E. All of the above, you got, well, a bullseye. There’s a reason we’re bringing it back. Click the pic to get the game.

That is all. Yup.

The camera was duct taped to the end of a sword. The footage is soon to be duct taped to your brain. It’s just that fun. And in related news, I’ll be skipping town for the next few days. Keep your eye on this space though. Coming soon: Video of me swinging cameras on a beach…

Want to send someone to a specific spot in a web page? Awesome Hightlighter lets you do that. You highlight the section, they give you the link. There’s even a Firefox add on so you can highlight straight from your browser. How fun is that?

US Pizza Team member Nino Coniglio. Speechless. Sad side note: The Brooklyn Pizza-spot he owed from which he often stunned patrons with fun, impromptu shows, Pizzeria del Corso, looks to be closed for good. Bummer. Nino, let us know if there’s anything we can do (did someone say fundraiser?).

From the title you think you’ve seen it before, right? You haven’t. Unless of course your house pet likes playing dress-up and mugging for the camera, in which case, you’re right, you have.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in yesterday (I counted at least three, but am still playing catch-up on Zoomdoggle’s holiday email).

Hey you guys! Who doesn’t love The Goonies? It’s a fun movie… and this quiz is one of Mental Floss’ top of the year. I got 6 of 10. Ready to see how you stack up? The game starts after the jump.

It’s a music video… in another language. Turn the music down though and there’s something very zen about watching a Hula Hoop spin it’s way endlessly around London town. Fun, right?

Mega-thanks to Sharon Su for sending it my way.

Another oldie, but goodie. In fact, this was the very first game ever posted to Zoomdoggle (May 30th, 2008)… and I’m still playing it. It’s that much fun. Yellow shapes are good. Red shapes are bad. Click the pic to get the game. Remember though, if you’re playing it with the sound off though, you’re missing the show.

And there’s loads more where this came from. Check the complete collection after the jump.

It’s the first snow day of the season… at least in New York City it is. If you can make it out your door, you might as well make your way to one of the one of the 13 kick-ass hills listed after the jump and do your thing.

Side note: The picture above creeps me out too, but Google let me down in my search for decent pictures of grown-ups on sleds. Hopefully after today that changes.

With just about 13,000 fans and over 1,400 user posted pics and videos to the Facebook page, it’s getting harder and harder to pick favorites. This holiday greeting from Matt Stones is hard to top though. Fun, right?

This is real. There’s no better way to say ‘I’m sorry’ to your furry friend for leaving them out of all of Xmas gifting goodness, than setting them free to chase digital mice and lasers on your new $700 toy. How fun is that?

Click each loop until you’ve got all the lose ends tied. It’s an oldie, yes (first posted here in 2009), but a goodie for sure – the kind of game that could easily kill an afternoon. Click the pic to get the game. Thanks to Neatorama for reminding me how fun it is.

Remember, a miss is as good as a mile. And watching them might be the funnest way to kick off your day. Yup.

URDB just released their list of the top 11 records set in 2010 as voted on by URDB staffers and URDB community. It’s a fairly increadible list. Check the whole shebang, including links to pictures and videos, after the jump. Thems of you with an eye for detail will also notice a nod to yours truly. Fun, right?

Next year’s going to be a big one… I can feel it. My personal goal: 24 records including one that makes the 2011 list. Who’s with me?
