Here is a really cool physics sandbox. I cannot quite remember who showed me this first, but thanks Phygon for reminding me of it.

More physics links later. There’s some cool stuff being made.

Linkage Six
Today I’ve got a list of Difficult English Words you can use to impress your friends with and really stand out as the nerd you are. If you’re also a coder then you may appreciate this collection of bit twiddling hacks — there’s something there for everyone, and of course it also has the famous HAKMEM bit counting algorithm. City Shrinker makes large things look very small. It’s hard to believe that these aren’t models. For the audiophiles and cat-lovers, here’s Purrcast, the sound of cats purring. And last, but not least, this man is my new hero.
Playmobil Michael Jackson
More Playmobil. I am pretty sure this is a hoax, though 😉
Still, I’d buy one. And a complete set of A-Team members, too. Maybe a market niche for Playmobil that Lego hasn’t cornered yet?
Update: Also in the same stream, Charlie Chaplin, Starbucks Staff, Gandalf and lots more cool Playmobil.
Playmobil Pirates
Found on the Grumpy Gamer blog.
Still no Yosumin for Nintendo DS?
I am so in love with this game. It’s by Square Enix, and I found it someplace on the web last year.
It’s been released for the Nintendo DS, but so far only in Japan. Terje, you lucky bastard.

- Pilot Fires Gun in Cockpit – why giving guns to pilots does not make us safe.
- Your Name on Toast
- Review of The Ice Pirates.
The Ice Pirates is one of those movies that inexplicably became a milestone in my own movie upbringing. When we watched this as kids, we decided we could make a movie at least as good as this and set out to make our own cardboard props and filmed a dew minutes with a VHS camera before we realized that no, we couldn’t really.
Dogs are so stupid
This dog needs no help keeping himself entertained:

I don’t know if I’d feel entirely safe letting the dog (or kid) play with this unattended. Thanks for the link, Arnleif 🙂
