Are you bored?

Here's a few things to waste your time:

You can start off by watching  this fantastic stop motion video and while I'm on the subject of films: M&M's® has created what I think is the most beautiful movie quiz of all times.

If that wasn't really your thing, you can always spend the next couple of minutes of your life checking out this flash illustration of 5000 years of imperial history in the middle east before taking a look at how puny humans really are.

Still bored? Here's a new version of a classic game that may change your perspective. If riddles are more your thing, fear not, this may be the perfect thing for you to do...

... and if you're still not entertained, I suggest you turn off your computer, read a book, go for a walk or spend the next few years trying to beat these guys at the turntable:

Another peek into my home




As a testament to my geekiness, I bring you my collection of robots and space related toys. After many years of leading a scattered life around my apartment, they finally have a place to call home.

Some of you may remember Gold Bot, who travelled with me a few times... most notably on this trip through roughly a dozen US states. Gold Bot doesn't get around quite as much anymore. Among other reasons, because he is afraid the TSA will kidnap him.
