Nick’s Friday Round-Up: Keep Yourself Entertained Edition
I admit, I end up doing a few of these. I will never admit which ones! <_<
Halloween is over, and now all you have is candy. Unless you ate it all already, in which case, get the heck off the internet and go find yourself a treadmill! Ok, sorry, back on point. It's starting to get colder, and you probably don't want to go outside, so you need to find things to entertain you for a while. Well allow me to help you in your goal of non-bordom.
I will start off with 10 Google tricks, slash easter eggs you can do. There are more than this, but let's just start with 10 and work our way up. [buzzfeed]
Ever wonder what it would be like if shopping IRL was like shopping on the instanets? [makeuseof]
First of all, all of you Mac users may not know what I'm talking about, but please bear with me. You know back in the day when IE was one of the only browser options, so you had to use it. You'd be browsing and all of the sudden IE would crash on you. This would be a bittersweet experience. On the one hand, your browser crashed, and who knows what you were in the middle of doing. On the other hand, you got that nifty "send error report" window that popped up. It wasn't so much the window that was cool, but what you could actually do with it. A guy by the name of Ryan Watson was entertained enough by this, that he created a little flash simulation of the error. Go ahead... have fun. [crashmyie]
You know about every 6 months or so, you have to go buy a new pair of ear-buds. Well what if you could actually repair them when that right bud shorts out. Sure it only costs $10 to buy another pair of cheap ones, but sometimes you actually splurge and buy yourself a good pair and don't want to replace them. Why not use those fingers of yours for more than just typing and clicking, and go fix it yourself? [spodesabode]
For the grand finale, I present you with a game that, when I first discovered it, sucked the life right out of me. I spent DAYS playing this game, slowly getting better and better, racking up my score into the high millions, and still never coming anywhere near the high score. I apologize in advance for the amount of time you will waste, but then again, I'm not forcing you to play it. I present to you... SolipSkier [mikengreg]

I hadn’t heard the sound you hear when you click the window that’s on crashmyie in a long time.

I’m assuming the guy in the infogram is the AOL/AIM guy in his later years.
