Me and a friend at work both purchased some pimped out RC cars from Fantasy World. I got the Mercedes G-Class and he got the Dodge Charger. We built like a makeshift ramp in the office and we were flying the cars off it. The cars although costing only KD8 are pretty responsive and fast.. for their size. My G-Class out performed the Charger in everything except when it came to making donuts but thats because the Charger has a longer wheelbase.

How fast can you type the alphabet
My record is 4 seconds. I might have been able to get faster with more practice but my dog keeps jumping on me. He’s bored. [Link]
You must get through all the icewalls by punching through them at the right time with your mouse. Its really tricky at first to get the rhythm but once you do it becomes fairly easy. [Link]
World Map
Wow I suck. This is a flash game where you try to guess the location of a country. Press start to begin. I scored a 44 in my first run. Africa just confuses me. [Link]
update: I got 74!
Wow, if I had the free time I would definitely attempt making this. I don’t think I have ever seen a cooler Halloween pumpkin. [Link]
Find 20
I just stuck 20 of these post-it notes around our office. Whichever employee can find the location of all 20 post-it’s gets two free cans of Shani. Most are easy to find, while some are going to be impossible. Just a little fun around the office.
I was at ACE Hardware yesterday and I found a water scooter for sale. There was this old TV show called SeaQuest and they had these water scooters in the show and I used to think they were cool and always wanted one. They aren’t expensive either, ACE is selling them for KD45 and they run for 1.5 hours on rechargable batteries. If I actually went to the beach at all I would have purchased it myself but since I don’t I won’t.
Back in university I took a typing class (I needed the 1 credit) and I ended up breaking the university record with 77 word per minute (deducting the mistakes). The teacher used to hate me but she couldn’t do much since I just kept typing faster then any of her other students.
Anyway found this cool site that tests how fast you type. I just got such a rush from this since and I am currently pumped full of adrenaline.. I love trying to type as fast as possible I don’t know why. The stupid thing with this test though is that if you make a mistake you HAVE to fix it or else you won’t be able to finish the test. Its really annoying but adds to the challenge. The highest score I got was 84.51 words per minute. Sounds fast until you realize that the worlds fastest typist was an old woman who hit 212 words per minute.. [Link]

Color Illusion
I am not a big fan of these optical illusion stuff you find online but this is the first time I see one that works like this.
“Just stare at the dot for 30 seconds. Then, without moving your eyes, move the mouse over the image. It will look like it’s in color until you move your eyes.”
Basically the black and white picture will end up looking as if its in full color. Freaky. [Link]

The past few days I was hearing a lot about this application on the Mac called Macsaber that worked with the latest Apple notebooks by replicating the Star Wars light saber sound everytime you swung your Mac around. Anyway I couldn’t try it myself and I couldn’t find any videos or pictures of it in action so I ignored it.. until now. I present you with Macbook Man! [Link]

Probably the best bubble gum in the world.. if only the taste didn’t disappear so quickly… [Link]
Lost Widget
Every 108 minutes, the button must be pushed. From the moment the alarm sounds, you will have four minutes to enter the code into the microcomputer processor. [Link]
(you won’t get this unless you watch the tv show Lost)
