Pictaps is a neat little flash thingy where you draw a little character and it gets animated into a dance routine. Mine is named Skwiggo! (The page sometimes crashes my Safari browser, but seems to be fine in Firefox. It's cool enough that I'd say take your chances.)

See the greatest star collaboration so far this millennium. Sweater Girl, Peter Pan, Tron Guy, and more! How did they get all of these people together? Courtesy We Are the Web, fighting for net neutrality.

Wow, I think the people have decided. Watch as the morning crowd at the E3 convention races past the Sony Playstation 3 booth to get a chance at those delicious new Nintendo Wii games. Wii is a pretty silly name, but apparently its the games that matter, and they look like fun:

Mario Galaxy
Smash Bros.
Legend of Zelda

I am so excited to learn that you can make shrinkydinks (the amazing shrinking plastic craft) just using pieces of number 6 recyclable plastic! Take that shrinkco (or who ever makes the name brand stuff). Hmmm, I have everything from 1-5 in my cupboard, and even a 7, but no number 6 plastic. Dang!

This list of the twenty best flash games of the year looks pretty good, at least based on the ones I've seen before. Now to try out the rest...
