Atome

This game is quite interesting for a few minutes (5?!). It's in German, but it's fairly easy to work out what you need to do!

Send pictures to Tourist Tai-Chi...

It's got to be the new craze! Check out my new Tourist Tai-Chi blog and then send me some pictures so I can add them to it... It's all about taking pictures of people having their picture taken.
If you think it's even mildly amusing, please pass it on - I'd really like to get other people's photos of this phenomenon...

Big Ideas come out of Big Pencils

Today, you should spend 5 minutes playing with the interface to this (Leo Burnett - a design company I think) website!

Thanks to Ken for the tip-off...

Using those last 4 spare minutes...

What would you like t' do with those four minutes that you have remainin' after customisin' Google? I'd suggest gettin' over t' "English-to-Pirate translator" and tryin' that out...

Anyway, it's highly addictive - the game is called 'Bring it on' and is on the Channel 4 cricket site. The idea: you play WG Grace who is attempting to hit the Aussies back to Australia. Nice...

Hyper Frame

Hyper Frame at shockwave.com is a very addictive puzzle where you have to connect coloured lines on the face of a cube. Really slick graphics and quite tricky puzzles too! Thanks to Simon for putting me onto this one...

Terragen

Terragen™ is a program for generating scenery (much like Bryce 3D). The best thing is that it's free for non-commercial use! You probably need more than five minutes if you're going to look at this one but it's well worth it. The website has some excellent examples, and here's one I knocked up in 5 minutes...
