Did I Jinx Knighthood in Facebook?

Less than 24 hours after I talk about the Knighthood application on Facebook on this site it gets removed! What’s up? From the comments on my original post it doesn’t look like anyone knows the reason.
I just clicked on one of the links provided to sent Mark Zuckerberg a question about it though and noticed […]

Knighthood Application on Facebook

Someone invited me to join them in the Knighthood game on Facebook awhile back and I joined because it looked kind of interesting.
I didn’t really start playing it much until today and I’ve got to say it’s really growing on me.
I’m a HUGE fan of the Sid Meier classic strategy game, Civilization (if you’re […]

A friend sent me the link to this guy’s photos and discussion about him building a replica of General Grievous’ Invisible Hand Ship from LEGOs.
Well, ladies and gentleman…oh, who are we kidding…Well […]

Monopoly Here & Now: World Edition

Currently I’m playing Scrabulous on Facebook, but I’m also a huge Monopoly fan. That is unless I’m playing with my wife and her sisters, because they gang up and cheat. You know how it is, they don’t charge each other rent and make outrageous deals on trading properties.
Awhile back I played a version of […]

The Chess playing genius Bobby Fischer died today after a long battle with kidney disease and failure.
Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion from Russia, said Fischer’s ascent in the chess world in the 1960s and his promotion of chess worldwide was “a revolutionary breakthrough” for the game.

Disintegrator - Gatling Rubber-band Gun

Very impressive!!!
I’m not sure we needed more than 5 minutes of video to get the idea though.
What would be really impressive is if it could somehow reload itself. I’m sure reloading this would make it look like the old gunpowder muskets were rapid firing!

Life-size Tetris Building

Here’s a couple of janitors and a friend with a video camera that have too much time on their hands. A friend is fairly positive that this was photo-shopped.

Online Spirographs

Remember the old drawing toy the Spirograph? I loved that thing! I’d spend hours playing with it varying my designs ever so slightly and changing the colors.
I uncovered the Spirograph website as I kept clicking through a variety of sites and links. The images above are from their gallery of images.
You can modify […]
