The annual Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are always fun.- I’m sure everyone has seen it already, but this story about a woman in Washington who called the police after nearly 100 raccoons surrounded her property really is something else.
- The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study, a 15-year study of sense of humor and causes of mortality found that laughter is associated with a 48 percent reduction in death from all causes, a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart disease, and an 83 percent lower risk of infection
- Evidence of ‘Negative Time’ Found in Quantum Physics Experiment: This will surely delight my youngest, who is obsessed with The Flash and his time traveling adventures. It also jibes with something I posted on Threads recently!
- Speaking of Threads, one of Meta’s frustrating problems is that they haven’t managed to brand the term “threading” in a way as organic as Twitter did “tweeting”. It doesn’t feel right to say, “I threaded,” or, “I’m threading,” which makes it not-insignificantly more difficult to casually mention their platform, which I think is a primary reason Threads hasn’t already crushed the decaying bird site.
- We’re biologically wired to prevent our children’s suffering, and it can be excruciating to watch them struggle. That’s certainly an understatement. I’ve been desperately trying to not be a helicopter parent but “excruciating” doesn’t come close to describing what it’s like seeing your child suffer. And I promise I’m well aware that a little elementary school teasing or even dealing with high school cliques are light years away from the difficulties other parents – close friends, even – are facing.

- In a very odd cosmic coincidence, Hurricane Milton destroyed the roof of Tropicana Field – home of the Tampa Bay Rays MLB franchise – just a few hours after the implosion of the vintage Tropicana casino in Las Vegas (to make way for a new stadium for the Oakland Athletics).

Frankfurter Fling (Flash Game)

We have a tremendously talented group of unbelievably creative artists and some of the sharpest web developers on the planet. The games we produce are generally targeted at
MTV Redesign
MTV completely redesigned their site. They switched from all-Flash to (gasp!) all-HTML. Brilliant.
Hypnotic Flash
If you have a few minutes to spare this morning, take a look at this mind-boggling Flash artwork. It’s hypnotizing and beautiful and entirely captivating. Move the mouse. Try not to fall into the monitor. (Flash required, obviously.) link via leuschke.org
Nose
You just *have* to go see this guy’s nose. Use the tweezers to see what you can do with them. Beauty? Why? You’ll see …
We Have the Technology
The folks at BIONIC SYSTEMS have an incredible Flash site. I haven’t looked at anything beyond the entrance page and I’m already very impressed. This amazing splash page is worth a visit even if there’s nothing else at the site. Check ’em out.
