6% of Energy Efficiency

 
Noel over on Unplugged Living brought this site to my attention. It’s called 6% of Energy Efficiency and it’s an informational site focused on educating the population about how to conserve more energy. They’ve got an interested, 6-question quiz to see how much you know about energy conservation. Regretfully I missed two, but I think I […]

Speed Stacks - Cup Stacking Competition

My son got an interesting Christmas present this year. It’s called Speed Stack, and it’s a kit for playing a cupstacking game. It’s all about hand-eye coordination, patterns and getting faster and faster as your practice and practice. It’s not the type of sport you’re going to see on ESPN in Primetime, but after watching […]

TV.com - Best of 2006

I’m not sure what piece of stone cold magma I’ve been living under, but the TV.com website is a Favorite/Bookmark contender for sure. At least if you have any interest in TV and aren’t Amish or something.
The item that brought my attention to this gem currently was the fact that they’re hosting “The Best of […]

Rube Goldberg Honda Commercial

I saw this video quite awhile back and then lost track of it. It’s quite the Rube Goldberg device that’s been built from the components of a Honda car. The video never appeared in the United States I don’t believe, I think it was purely a European based commercial.
The crew spent weeks shooting night and […]

Go Elf Yourself

Just in time for the holidays, now you can make like Will Ferrell and elf yourself!
If this doesn’t bring a smile to your face, then you should just go to sleep and wait for Jacob Marley and the rest of the ghosts to come and visit you this weekend.
I will say I think I make […]

Bowmaster Prelude from Addicting Game

I found another great game called Bowmaster Prelude from Addicting Games. And let me tell you! This sucker is addictive. It’s amazing to me how we’re so excited about the Wii, 360 or PS3 and the amazing new graphics, but a simple game like this with an easy to understand strategy can be so much […]

Searchmash - A new, slick search option

A friend just alerted me to this new search site called Searchmash.
I’ve heard that it’s all Google down underneath it, but I really like the Ajax functionality of this search site and it’ll be interesting to see if Google will go this way and this is a test site or what? But try it out […]

Yahoo Picks of 2006

This website gives you a list of the top picks that Yahoo has chosen over the year.
It astounds us to say this, but 10 years ago we launched our first round-up of the best Picks of the year. Now, an entire decade later (eek!), we’re still plumbing the depths of the Web for sites that […]

Mandolux Desktop Wallpapers

I love great art and photography. You’d think because of that I’d have some cool wallpaper always on my computer desktop. Thing is I don’t. Not sure why, but I’ve always just gone with a completely black screen on my desktop.
For those of you not like me though, and enjoy a great scene or image […]

Word Shoot - QWERTY Warriors

Here’s another great online game for you folks. After the popularity of some of the other online games I’ve highlighted on this previously, I figured it was a good theme.
This game is called Word Shoot and it’s available on CrazyMonkeyGames.com or Cognitive Labs, not sure the relationship there. This game takes Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing and holds […]
