Friday Diversion : The Walls are not Cheese

Super fun game called The Walls are not Cheese.

Just move the Purple Square (you) around with the arrows, aim and shoot with the mouse (to go through walls and to kill Blue Squares). It gives you this tip, but it's useful to know going in, hold shift to collect debris (Brown Spects) to re-load your amo. Don't run into any Blue Squares and I'm not sure of the goal, whether you have to kill all the Blue Squares or just get to the end of the path, I'm pretty sure it is to get to the end of the path. It seems a little lame, but once you try it, it will be addicting.

Takashi Itoh's Watermellon Carvings







These are carved Watermellons by a Japanese artist named Takashi Itoh. I really like the flowers the best. And when he leaves more of the dark green like in the first flower. (Click a picture for a larger view) See more Watermellons.

WiFi Dowsing Rod

"The Wifi Dowsing Rod by miket. "Todays technology advances at such a speed that often consumers are left in awe of it all. The high tech terminology, the ultra small, ultra portable, metallic or white devides we carry around with us are, to the vast amount of consumers, simply baffling. The Wifi Dowsing Rod aims to work against this. By basing the design for a wireless internet detector on century's old technology, the user feels immediately at home with the product, whilst feeling less intimidated by the simple shape and natural materials.""

Change

Illusion Monday will now become Helpful Tip Monday, which will mostly be the re-purposing an item post.

Wednesday will still be Food Day.

Friday will still be Cute Picture Day now with a twist of Friday Diversion. Oh yeah so stay tuned for that.

Douglas Adams Quote 3

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Re-purposing Item: Magnet

Attach a magnet to the inside of a metal medicine cabinet, and you can promptly pluck tweezers (or nail clippers) when needed.

I'm going to try this with a magnet strip and my bobby pins which always seem to escape from the little container in my drawer.
