Yeah, Pac-man is the muthafugginman right there! That chart made me LOL for real! But since you're already here, why not check out some of these Pac-man clones? There's even an Excel version of the game. Oh, and of course, Tucows has a whole category dedicated to Pac-man games!

Who doesn't love Pac-man? I flick a booger in your general direction.

Check out these fun free paper craft patterns from Yamaha! They offer lots of good instructions and PDF downloads to help you create cool stuff with paper, and it doesn't stop with motorcycles; they have patterns for animals, birds, insects and more.

If you're really into it, check out this ultra-realistic motorcycle you can make... How much freaking paper/devotion does it take to make something like this? Ye gods!

One of my favorite videos by one of my favorite bands.

Some of my favorites are nominees! Cast your vote!

Enjoy!

Diatom are single-celled photosynthetic organisms, one of several groups of algae that biomineralize silicate. They inhabit both fresh and marine water. Deposition of the silicate creates rigid cell walls which can take on a complex variety of geometric shapes.


In victorian times, hobbyists and enthusiasts would create arranged slides, microscopic pictures only a millimeter or two across, made out of individually placed diatom shells and butterfly scales. Some antique slides still exist today in personal and museum collections, but it was considered to be a lost art until Klaus Kemp of Microlife Services came along. He makes both traditional and contemporary designs, my favorite are the mandalas like the ones pictured here.

I live in Michigan so I found this site interesting as well: Great Lakes Diatoms

Lines From Alanis Morissette's "Ironic," Modified to Actually Make them Ironic by Patrick Cassels, CollegeHumor


An old man turned ninety-eight. He won the lottery and died the next day... of chronic emphysema from inhalation of the latex particles scratched off decades' worth of lottery tickets.

A black fly in your Chardonnay... poured to celebrate the successful fumigation of your recently purchased vineyard in southern France.

A death row pardon two minutes too late... because the governor was too busy watching Dead Man Walking to grant clemency any earlier.   more »

Here's a free and nifty little resource from a Deviant Artist - a nice palette of skin color swatches made for PS CS2. I'm certainly going to enjoy these! Shout out to Aimelle of Word-worth-1000-pics for sharing this!

Aws!

I stumbled upon this the other day... Getelancer.com. From the site:

"Getelancer.com offers a wide range of tools, content, products, services, benefits, and other resources of particular interest to companies and freelancers to enable them to efficiently and cost effectively manage their careers, professions, and businesses."

Payments can be made by check or through Paypal. Cool. But it reminded me of this site that's been around for a while, Elance.com which I signed up for ages ago but never used.

Has anyone worked with either of these sites long enough to know if it's worth the hassle of setting up an account? I already have an account with Etsy which is a little different, but I've yet to go through the time consuming trouble of listing products for sale. At any rate, I'm curious to know how other creatives are making $$ online. If you have a success story, please comment!

That bird has got it goin AWN! Go birdy! Go birdy! It's your bird-day! Go birdy!
