Pac-Man Skelton found!

For all of you retro gamers out there. If you ever wondered about Pac-Man's anatomy. Here it is, the Pac-Man skeleton.
If you have a ghost problem in your house, this should scare them away. All you need to do is place this prominently in your home, with some cherries(remember Pac-Man has to eat the cherry to kill ghosts) and all your ghost problems will go away. LOL

Desktop Tower Defense

Found an extremely addicting flash game over the weekend. I was sitting at home recovering from a sunburn, and started browsing for something to do. What I found was Desktop Tower defense. the goal of the game is to build a maze of towers to try to kill the bad guys before they get across the map. For every bad guy who gets across the map, you lose a life. You get money to build more towers by killing bad guys. sounds simple, but it actually is pretty hard on the higher levels, and the game is surprisingly addictive.

Life Size Mousetrap game

Found this article about a life size mousetrap game that was made for the Maker Fair. It has all of the standard mousetrap items, like the bathtub, the staircase, and even bowling balls. For all of you that played Mousetrap when you were little, this should be a cool little nostalgic fair item.

The Internet is no longer mostly guys

It seems that women now outnumber guys online. The percentages are 48% to 52%. So the difference isn't huge, but it is significant. Especially when you look at the growth statistics. Since 2000, female Internet usage has risen 12% and male usage has only risen 3%. According to the research, the difference also likely to remain that way in the future. I find this is interesting, mainly because the IT and gaming industry is still so male dominated. That means that unlike in previous years, the use of the Internet is no longer centered around IT and gaming. So what is it centered around?
