Minus The Crash-Bang-Pow!

I couldn't believe it either, but a flash game could actually work without the crash-bang-pow killer synth sounds! If you play Music Catch, the first impression would be it's another one of those Carpal Tunnel Syndrome-inducing games, but it's not. It's so relaxing, you won't even mind if you don't score high points. It's like enjoying a kaleidoscope of different colours and shapes. The music and graphics are just fantastic and they kind of lull you to the point where you just stare blankly at the screen, enjoying the pink, blue, green and yellow objects that float. Definitely not the game to play in the middle of work, but definitely a good source of relaxation after a day's shenanigans.

You actually unlock songs and other options with a high score so yeah, I think it's also a plus to score high on this game :-)

I've embedded the game here on this blogpost but since the game is too big for my page layout, you can only see half of the screen. But at least you get the whole idea why it's nice. Better to just play Music Catch by clicking here!

Best Optical Illusion According To Qikipedia

Wonder what makes the optical illusion below so interesting, even author Neil Gaiman tweets about it? If you think the spirals are of blue and green colours, think again :-p

The World's Ugliest Dog For 2009...

...and you're looking at him!

Meet Pabst, the ugly (wonder) dog! I don't think he's that ugly, considering how his owners love him to dearly. I think rescued dogs are always so sweet.

Anyhoo...

Yahoo lets us in on some details:

"Pabst, a boxer-mix rescued from a shelter by Miles Egstad of Citrus Heights, Calif., won the annual contest on Friday at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Northern California.

It was an upset victory for Pabst, who beat former champion Rascal, a pedigree Chinese Crested.

Pabst's owner took home $1,600 in prize money, pet supplies and a modeling contract with House of Dog."

How about you? Will you take care of a scruffy like this? I know I would :)

Let Them Get Sober First

We've all had our share of nasty stories inside bar washrooms where we've almost regurgitated our insides out, or we've almost passed out because we have practically drowned our blood in too much alcohol. I guess it's fun when you look back on those times, but maybe not so much fun for people who have had to deal with disabilities, or death in the family, just because some people have insisted on taking over behind the wheels even though they're dead drunk.

The image below shows a washroom with stickers of passed out individuals with messages on their shirts. I think I've seen this before and vaguely remember it as part of a campaign to prevent drunk driving. And I think it's a good way to always remind people to let their drunk friends sober up first before they go behind the steering wheel. Or better yet, just take over the car. Because as you know, when you're drunk and you're driving, it feels like everything is a one way street with green lights.

The Difference Between Poor And Broke

I came across this quotable quote while aimlessly hopping from one link to another:

Poor is a state of mind.

Broke is a state of wallet.

You can fix being broke;

It's not so easy to fix being poor.

Whoa.

I have no idea if these words came from Joe Heerdink of his I Am Broke website, but it does make a point. His website, which was born out of a random joke, doesn't have much to offer, but it is a nice easter egg in the interweb. (And you all thought it was about how-to-make-your-first-million-stash)

So how did I end up in Heerdink's site? I couldn't trace it back, but I feel like it had something to do with me looking up about the word "broke".

How relevant. :)
