Roller Coaster Tycoon slaughter



Quote from The Last Boss:
Anyone who has purchased a Roller Coaster Tycoon game has made a demonically evil or outright broken roller coaster on purpose before, just to see dozens of carnival casualties, but this video has to be the one that defines them all. Watch as an amusement park is constructed of only one small walkway that methodically aligns itself with the dead end of the uncompleted roller coaster killing machine. He politely waits for the amusement park to fill up, giving them all free balloons, and then . . . kills every single person.

mimobots - USB flash drives for rich kids

Just stumpled upon this weird collection of mimobots - expensive USB flash drives for people with an urge to spend money on weird gadgets. I particularly like the Darth Vader mimobot although it reminds me more of a mixture between Cat Woman and a Pokémon character :)

PaintBrush - MS Paint for Mac OS X

Yet another bitmap image editor for Mac OS X has been released - PaintBrush is similar to the (in)famous MacPaint and MS Paint that we all both love and hate (mostly hate :)

PaintBrush 1.0

If you want something more sophisticated, I can highly recommend Pixen and Seashore for Mac OS X or Paint.NET for Windows. Another very cool painting program worth looking into is ArtRage - available for both Mac OS X and Windows.

//DeletedImages - a sanctuary for blurry and unfocused pictures

Quote from DeletedImages.com:
DeletedImages.com brings unsharp, moved, blurry and unfocused pictures back to life. So before you delete you images on your camera. Have another look and start sharing what you would have deleted with the rest of the world.
Wow - sounds like the perfect place to waste a few hours :-)
