Silliness:

Interesting facts about sleep.

Surprising lot, those Greeks – they had surprisingly sophisticated computers back in 200 BC.

Can you say "too much spare time"? Here’s video footage of a hamster running around a re-created computer game.

A superhero name generator, and a stack of other things are available here.

Geekiness:

Too cool, how to drill a square hole.

Stop motion animation of real live people, Tony vs. Paul.

Everyone knows you shouldn’t let geeks create interfaces, leave it to people with taste.

Superman studies physics didn’t you know.  

Grow your own Loofah. Groovy.

Lord bless the internet, and all who sail in her. Even the crazy flat-earth people.

Silliness:

This is interesting, run your own Nation State according to your ideals. Now, it doesn’t support quite what I wanted to do, but I’ve still got a little crime-free socialist state going on.

W.A.T.C.H. OUT! The Nanny state is about. The most dangerous childrens toys evarrr!!!!1!11!!!!

Geekiness:

Science’s role and stance regarding religion in debate. I rather like the pugalistic reporting style of the article, if nothing else.

Ellie’s Link:

The bizarre remains of a fight between a Python and an Alligator revealed that they don’t really get on very well; and it looks like the Python won.

Silliness:

Scandal as policeman suggests we use the correct word to describe sexually active teenagers and people interested in them.

Donald duck thought of it first, patent denied due to Disney prior art.

Geekiness:

A list of videos of talks given at Google‘s campus. All nicely stored on Google video.

"You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" Google video again today, with the abridged version of the Italian job rendered in Lego.

Silliness:

Actually interesting, a list of false arguments people make.

This is curious, seemingly impossible objects, how are they done?

I nearly cried laughing – this one isn’t safe for work, but no-one told me that until it was too late. The Danish have a novel approach to speeding (apparantly)

Geekiness:

A list of good science books. That’s pretty interesting all in all.

Silliness:

It’s actually quite scary, but there’s a syndrome which causes women to uncontrollably orgasm all the time.

The south park explanation of evolution, made me laugh.

Glad I’m not like this, I just do all the things Dad used to obsess over instead.

Good writing, and very very grumpy. I like it.

There’s a fine line between genius and raving lunatic.

Silliness:

Why did they even review it? Gamespot thinks they’ve found the worst computer game ever made.

Matt’ll probably read this one – on designers and attitude in the internet age.

What do you get when a large number of grouches get together and whinge? Why, the Helsinki complaints choir of course!

I like it, the executive colouring book.

Geekiness:

How to build a really good paper aeroplane.

Interestingness:

Some really quite interesting thoughts from a "top educator" apparantly he’s really good, I like his thinking (mostly).

Silliness:

Brilliant, want a Ferrari? Knit one!

Nickelback, not a lot of variety there then. (Really effective with headphones.)

I like it, what you can do with very clever editing to make Amateur‘s appear competent.

Geekiness:

Fabulous game, very very simple, but the feeling of speed is real. Get your missile through all the barriers.

Silliness:

Surprisingly addictive web game.

Geekiness:

This is the single most awesome photo app available on the web today. And it’s only a preview! Awesomeness.

Marvellous, a hollow shower. (That’s one with hollow water, obviously the shower needs an internal cavity otherwise it wouldn’t work very well.)
