Dark Side of the Rainbow

This is what the internet is all about.

Remember a few years ago when A&E played The Wizard of Oz and told you exactly when to start your copy of Dark Side of the Moon? And it seemed like a really cool idea, but you didn't have a copy of the album because you always thought Pink Floyd kinda sucked? Well now someone has kindly done all the hard work for us and simply uploaded the movie complete with Pink Floyd soundtrack to Google Video.

I've read about this a lot in the past, and although Pink Floyd maintains that it's all just coincidence, fans have compiled more than 100 links between the movie and the album. I hope it's as interesting as I've been led to believe.

xkcd

I have to admit that I've been addicted to this web comic since the first day I saw it. The art might not be that good, but the comics themselves are as clever as anything I've seen. I read through the archives on the first day, and there was a startlingly good mix of gut-shaking funniness and tear-jerking poignancy.

I think this cartoon is my favourite. And pretty much sums up my life's philosophy.

Dicewars

I guess it's time for playtesting to be over.

This is a highly addictive Risk-type game played with dice instead of armies. The number of dice on your land determines the strength of your attack: if you roll higher than your opponent, then you win the territory. Armies are replenished randomly at the end of your attack, one per connected territory.

There's a lot of luck involved, but maybe that's part of its charm. It's definitely part of the frustration. Although you can play with up to eight computer opponents, be sure to try some of the lower levels: it's sometimes a lot tougher to defeat two or three opponents than seven.

When you want a restaurant in your home

Sometimes what you want from a restaurant is not someone else doing the cooking (although I always seem to want to have someone else do the cleaning!), it's a specific dish that the restaurant makes. Of course, it's irrlevant to those of us in Regina to have access to Olive Garden recipes, but there is a host of other things to be found here - so search away.
