The best nonsense on the Web and various other gimcracks and gewgaws.

Miniature Golf at Work
I play a lot of miniature golf. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, sometimes I get so severely beaten that I cry and throw tantrums. But, when I'm at work, I miss the feel of green felt carpeting under my feet and the cool sounds of the ball clinking in the cup. Well, my friends, no longer do I have to long for the mini-links. With
Crazy Golf, I bring put-put to the office. I've only played 9 holes so far, 2 under par. I'll finish up my round and post my best score. If you can beat me, I'll buy you a round of real-live miniature golf. Who knows, maybe I'll spring for ice-cream and a movie. Go ahead, get your golf on!

Best Hospitals 2004
Sorry people, no time for a post. This is what I've been up to for the last week or so, and it's driving me nutty. But here you go:
USNews.com: Health: Best Hospitals 2004. It's live now. My work is done. Enjoy! It's time for me to grab a drink.

Office Space Wars
Holly hilarity, Batman! This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a good long while. It's part
Office Space and part
Star Wars... It's
Office Space Wars (If that doesn't work, check out
Boing Boing for mirrors, commentary, and bit torrent links). Obi Wan Kenobi has the role of Peter. He hates his job, the driods who eat his copies, and decides to stop going. Look for special appearances by Jar Jar, C3-PO, R2-D2, Yoda, and Darth Vader. "Um, yeah, Obi Wan, I'm going to need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday." I've seen a
Star Wars tribute before, but I've never seen an
Office Space tribute. I think this one tops both lists. Enjoy, but be warned, the file is a massive 30MB wmv file, so don't go after it unless you have a fast connection. "What exactly would you say you DO here?"
Battle for Sudan
Another day, another dollar. But damn, I'm getting sick of these long days. It's 6:00 and I ain't anywhere near being ready to go home, but I did just stumble across an updated version of a classic strategy game. If you're a big dork, like I am, then Stratego is a game you are familiar with. Well, now it's on the Web in flash form and you can play against either the computer or an live human opponent. The game is called
Battle for Sudan and it kicks ass. It looks like it was built as a promo piece for
The Four Feathers, which came out in 2002. But that isn't important, what is important is that if you see Buffalo Bandit waiting for an opponent. Match wits, and may God be on your side, because I don't lose.

Operation: Don't Wake Your Girlfriend
Damn! I've been at work for a while, but since I just had a measly update to my blog yesterday, I thought I owed you, my dear readers, a little something. So here it is:
Splinter Cell - Late Home. It's a fun British game based on the popular Splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow, but it has a twist. Here's the deal:
Following his last most recent successful mission, A member of the Third Echelon has been out celebrating with his mates.
Despite a 11pm curfew imposed by his girlfriend, he has returned home very late, having forgotten his keys he must now gain entrance to his flat and get into bed without upsetting his light sleeping girlfriend.
Use your scope, nightvision, and wits to get into bed without getting busted. Enjoy!
