Warning, addictive Flash game: Fantastic Contraption. You build a little machine to push, pull, drag, or fling a special wheel into the goal. The best part is that when you complete a level, you can see how other players completed it (and how unimaginative you are). Really, really fascinating. For a level requiring some stair climbing, one fellow built a Theo Jansen-like beast that walked right up those stairs. For another level, another person built ...

Start Here; Don't end here" Alcohol has long been associated with enjoyment and celebration. However, as a responsible producer of alcoholic beverages, Guinness? is committed to promoting responsible drinking and combating alcohol misuse. The best way to interact with a consumer when they're enjoying a night out is not through stern messaging but rather through an entertaining platform that will drive the message, that alcohol should not be abused, home.

Photographer Vincent Laforet, formerly of the NY Times, is in Beijing making photos of the Olympics. Here's a look at some of the stuff he's been shooting and the process behind getting those wonderful overhead shots of his. Getting a photograph of Phelps from above is priceless -- so it's all worth the hassle. Here he is winning gold in the 200 meter individual medley. This was shot with a 400mm 2.8 handheld--oh yeah, hand ...

Photos and descriptions of some of the world's neatest ghost towns. I've seen many of these elsewhere but hadn't heard of this village in France before. The small village of Oradour-sur-Glane, France, is the setting of unspeakable horror. During World War II, 642 residents were massacred by German soldiers as punishment for the French Resistance.

A change begets meetings, which beget approvals, which beget forms that have to be signed in triple-triplicate, which beget more meetings, and maybe after a month or two you will have successfully added a column to a report. All of Initrode ...
