The clip is of 62 year old civil rights activist “General” Larry Platt, in an American Idol season 9 ”audition” performing the song Pants on the Ground. Obviously his isn’t really a true audition in that [...]

It is high time I shared the comics of Adrian Ramos on this blog. The first comic by Adrian (a.k.a “Adis!”) that I came across “back in the day” was Count Your Sheep, the cute, blue comic about a young girl called Katie and her best friend Ship, a sheep who hangs out with her [...]

Found this cool air hockey flash game. It’s pretty realistic – I still lose a lot, just like the real thing, but unlike the real thing this one has levels so for a while I feel like I’m pretty awesome. Sound can be toggled off by clicking on the ‘menu’ on the lower right, so [...]

Ahh! So I’m meant to be studying right now, but keep getting distracted! On the bright side, I happened upon a great wee website called Ivyology.com.

I was recently given the link to the Origami Club, a great origami website. Unlike many such websites, it’s easy to navigate and well organised. The designs are arranged in categories such as “Fun origami”, “Animals and birds”, “Christmas”, etc. Each has easy to follow diagrams, and many also have large, clear animations on how [...]
