Simple little flash game I cannot stop playing. Check it out here.

I’ve been busy, but that’s not really a good excuse for lack of frequent updates. Check out Endless Zombie Rampage it’s bound to kill some time this morning.

Clockwords is a lot of fun and is borderline educational. Skip the intro movie, it’s completely pointless.

Canabalt is really simple. Run as far as you can and click to jump. Admittedly I’m not very good at the game. Post high scores in the comments.

Sporacle is a web site full of user generated quizzes. They have a huge range in both difficulty and topic. The quizzes are divided into general categories and can also be sorted by difficulty. Here a few of my favorite quizzes to get you started:

• Don’t Stop Believin’ Lyrics
• Movies from 3 Hints
• Simpsons Characters
• U.S. Presidents
• Sweet Caroline Lyrics

This weekend I saw Zombieland, which sent me searching for some zombie inspired flash games. It turns out someone has already beat me to it. Zombiefied Games is a web site dedicated to listing all of the Zombie related flash games people have created. I highly recommend checking out “Last Stand 2.” It is one of the more addictive games listed on the site.

Craigslist itself can be a huge distraction. The Best Of Craigslist section is home to of some of the greatest humor on the internet today. Last month Wired ran a cover story about Craigslist. The article is too long to summarize here, but one of the thing it mentioned is that Craig Newmark doesn’t like other sites using the Craigslist data and often either gets them shut down or changes Craigslist itself so third party sites no longer work. It looks like those days are over (at least temporarily). CraigsLook is a third party site which takes the data from Craigslist and allows you to search through it graphically. The only feature it is missing would be to lock in a geographical location. The service is still in beta so maybe that is coming soon.

Toss the Turtle is a great flash game I recently found. Imagine the classic game Kitten Cannon except with some upgrades. You get money based on how far you launch your turtle and then you can buy things to make him go even further. The items you can get range from a jet pack to a tank to shoot him out of. My best was over 800,000 feet, I could have gotten a lot more but the game crashed.

Hobnox is basically a really complicated dj simulator. You have a ton of equipment available to you to make all sorts of sounds. You actually have to plug stuff into other stuff. I played around with this thing for about twenty minutes and I still didn’t really understand how to use a lot of the equipment. You could easily lose a few hours on this thing.

Having graduated from college over a year ago I find myself having occasional lecture withdrawal. I know, it seems strange, but I can’t help it. Academic Earth is a web site full of academic lectures. The tagline to the web site says it all, “full video courses from leading universities.” For those of you who have wondered what it would be like to go to an elite school, you can get a tiny glimpse because the lectures come from Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Yale and others. New lectures are added often, which means for now my lecture withdrawal is sedated.
