The End Is Near- Part 2

If one needs further proof that the end is near (see earlier blog entry below), go to Doors or Four Squares.

Think about it. Someone actually took the time to create these sites. At least the picture to the left is pleasant.

2 Time Sites

My first entry in this blog was about time. I have 2 additional sites to add now. I caution that I found them on a list of pointless websites.

The first site is the barcode clock. This ticks of seconds while changing the lines in a barcode.

The other site, A Dot for Every Second in the Day, is a bit more elaborate; it shows a chart with 86,400 dots--the number of seconds in a day. As each second goes by, a dot changes from a lavender color to gray. The change is fairly subtle.

May I remind you that I did call a recent blog entry "The End is Near."

Boomshine

I recently came across a site for the game Boomshine. It is a fairly simple game, in which a number of small colored orbs are floating around the game area, and the player is supposed to place a larger ball in a space where the most orbs are likely to hit it. The number of small orbs and the target number of hits increase thoughout the game. I find the game both hypnotic and addictive. There is a sound track that reminds me of the piano music in Peanuts cartoon shows, and for some reason, I keep thinking that if Peter Max was to create a game, Boomshine might be what he’d come up with.
