Zero Seconds in Sheep Reaction Flash Game

Yup, I got zero seconds on the first sheep but became a bobbing bobcat by the end. D’oh!

Here’s three pictures of the mini flash flood it caused on my street in Dorchester.

My step-dad asked me if I looked outside and since it had only been raining for a few minutes I hadn’t but that quickly our street was covered in water:

The water came down so quick that the whole street overflowed covering the sidewalk with water going a quarter way up car tires.

A mini-van leaving a wake.

Video:

We really needed the rain here in Boston to drop the temperature and we got a lot of water in a very short time. I heard through the grapevine that it was over two inches in just twenty minutes!

1. small dog create

Huh? Was this person asking Google to make them a small dog?

2. too much fun but not enough education

There is a fine balance. One which many strive for but few attain.

3. sitting

Where they looking for a how to? Definition? History?

4. managerial accounting for idiots

How much you wanna bet a Fortune 500 CEO is behind this search?

5. i love nate and adam icons for aim

No idea why I’m the first result for this…

6. do schools need textbooks

College kid trying to convince his/her professor to drop textbooks? Or a principal trying to cut costs? In my opinion, schools do not need textbooks but do need authoritative resources to learn from, whether they be people or e-books or experiences is up to the school or teacher.

OK, time to go Google “Large pile of cash create”.

I left out the default “I am away from my computer right now” away message but used all the others messages my IM buddies put up, including my “somewhere but not here” note. How about you? Does your buddy list’s away messages tell a story?

“I might look cute, but if you touch my ball I’ll kill you.”

“I wanna help!”

“Screw it, that’s hard work. Time to go back to looking cute.”

A cute girl who likes football? Could it really be…the perfect girl?

“I’ll lick you”

Honorable Mention: Ten things i didn’t know about the number 3 until now by Blaiq

Good job everyone and thanks to Daniel for hosting this project/contest!

Can you see it?

Yup there’s a strange white orb, floating in the sky. From watching many a episode of Ghost Hunters on the Sci-Fi channel and similar shows, I know the jury is out on whether this orb thing is a piece of dust, moisture, or some sort of paranormal phenomenon. What’s odd is the structure of this orb, at least compared to the examples of naturalistic orbs on wikipedia.org. This particular orb has a circular, cell-like structure.

The level of detail in that photo is amazing. You can clearly see a center with spoke like structures surrounding it. I’m not an expert on dust nor on ghosts, so I won’t make any conclusions [it's dust], but I think it looks cool either way.

What do you think?

Dust? Ghost? Alien? Moisture? Photo-shopped? Flying micro-organism? Other?

First up are my fellow Tar Heels over at Thrills on the Hill. The fellas over there are posting events going on in Chapel Hill during the summer. As someone who spent a summer on the hill, I’ve got to say it’s a great idea, I had fun during my summer in Chapel Hill, but there were more than a few nights with simply nothing to do.

Going in the complete opposite direction is the guy-girl combo (and 50% fellow Boston Latin School alums) over at I’m Peachy (a.k.a. Impeach Him Impeach Him), with the mission of posting pictures of real Americans who support the impeachment of President Bush. The great twist here, is these pictures are coming from Texas, President Bush’s home-land.

Moving on to less controversial topics, if you like Hip-Hop/Rap music, check out Contak. I used to give this kid a hard time when we were both attending Latin but I’ve got to give the kid credit, he can rap. Check him out and make sure to tell him to send me a free promo CD so I can write up a review!

Last but certainly not least is Random Antonym. Another Latin alum and fellow business partner, Brandon’s site design is wicked nice and unique. Brandon himself will admit the content on his site is still a work in progress, but in the mean time, at least check out some of his pictures from around the world.

Props to all four of you and keep it up everyone.
