And speaking of flash animations, here’s one of my favorites entitled Burger King Guy. And if you enjoy that one, check out the remix.

nucleus
My friend Julia tells me that I need to make my site easier to navigate, because she had a hard time finding the Llama Song So I think I’m going to make a page that contains only the silly little net-things I pick up here n’ there.
In the meantime, however, here’s a major time-waster for you! The game’s called Nucleus, and the object is to move the electrons to the nucleus of the atom by shifting electron orbits. So, not only do you get to play a cool game, you’ll also learn some fundamental atomic theory. You’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly, but be careful! It’s addictive!

to kill a mockingbird
There is a long-standing tradition among high-school and university students alike of handling assigned liturature reading. Why would one read a novel or play that has already been read millions of times by others? Why reinvent the wheel? That kind of time would be better spent trying to determine the minimum projectile force nessesary to spit a peice of gum in an arc over a 8 meter distance to ensure it lands centrally in the wastebasket.
Thankfully, Cliff Notes came along to save the day. But wait a second! Don’t I still have to read the Cliff Notes? What’s the point of reading a book about a book I don’t want to read?! Thankfully, that’s where the magic of modern media lends a hand. Forget about renting the movie, or buying audio books on CD. Now you can get wonderfully succinct sumations of the world’s finest literary works in streaming media formats, such as Macromedia Flash.
Here’s a shining example. My dear brother in Christ, Dan, sent me this wonderful visual summary of that classic, To Kill A Mockingbird. Have a book report due, but no time between parties to do it? Simply watch this flash video and amaze your teacher/professor with your ability to see past the plain text and break open the innermost themes and sub-themes that establish classics as such.

badgers
I realize this is a little late, but while there’s been several great alternate versions to the flash-classic Badgers, this Christmas version is without a doubt the best version yet!
