Can You Circle The Cat? Very Nice Brain Game



This game will be a nice exercise for your brain, you have to circle the back cat with the dark circles. Once you put down a black circle the cat will move one space towards the nearest exit which is most of the time opposite of the black circle you just put down. Have fun!

Global Live Monitoring System - Watch Small Global Changes Live




Pretty interesting website, all the countries are shown and it's very dynamic. Various things are tracked in real time and animated on the global map.
You can see the population of every country, how often someone dies or gets born. Then there's CO2 emmisions rate of all countries.
I like the fact that everything is dynamic and you can see the changes happened in the world since you entered the website.

Impressive Optical Illusion



I found a very cool optical ilusion, there's an outline of a castle in blue color with a dot in the middle. If you stare at it for a little while, then you hover the mouse over the outline, the actual picture appears in color. The interesting part is that the image is actually in black and white and the outline that remained on your retina fills in the gaps and colors up the picture until you move your eyes.

Our Solar System - Dynamic Diagram



I just found a cool site wich features our own solar system entirely with it's planets and moon and even the asteroid ring past Mars. It's really fun to play with. You can even set a date of your choosing to see how the planets will be aligned. Also you can adjust many other thing, like moon phase, sounds or an interesting thing is the Tychonian view where everything else revolves around the earth. Pretty cool.

Canvas Pinball - Play Pinball on a Draft of Math Paper


Hey, I was just looking for interesting stuff on the web, and I came across this little website that has a pinball game on it. As it appears, it is a classic pinball game on a draft of math paper, it seems like the layout is drawn on the paper. Anyway, it's a nice way to waste some time in case you are bored.



Tall Painting



Very nice video of a group of artists creating a unique work of art. I am an art fan myself so I definitely enjoyed this movie.
