This is an absolute goldmine. (via.)
I’m afraid if I click on that link I might never come back.

Factory Balls 2
Drag and drop a ball over the tools to produce the required ball physics in each level.
If you enjoy problem solving, this is fun. I’m not that bright so I got stuck at level 14 yesterday, trying to figure out how to dip the bunny ears into the bag of grass seeds. Am going back later today to address that issue.

On a side note, I was curious about the huge block of text at the bottom of the Selectr screen. It appeared to be a bunch of links but as I am unable to read Japanese, off to Google Translate I went. Here’s an interesting snippet of what I assume are a couple of different links:

When asked about his perspective on social issues—gay marriage, abortion—Prince tapped his Bible and said, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’ ”
I miss this Prince. Where’d he go?

We had one of those nice surprises on Friday — a brand new musician on the show, doing an unexpected (& excellent) acoustic cover of an old favorite. Listen. I think you’ll like it.

Cameron Adams has made a drum machine made entirely out of JavaScript. Words to describe this completely escape me. And as is usually the case with these things, I’m about to lose most of my day futzing with this. (via Simplebits)

The lighting fixture’s centerpiece is a small adjustable 12V lighting head encased inside a blown glass bubble. The light’s direction can be adjusted using a magnet that sits on the outside of its clear glass globe.

But, why?
“We built our key duplication software system to show people that their keys are not inherently secret,” said Stefan Savage, the computer science professor from UC San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering who led the student-run project. “Perhaps this was once a reasonable assumption, but advances in digital imaging and optics have made it easy to duplicate someone’s keys from a distance without them even noticing.”
Ohhh. That’s why.
In one demonstration of the new software system, the computer scientists took pictures of common residential house keys with a cell phone camera, fed the image into their software which then produced the information needed to create identical copies. In another example, they used a five inch telephoto lens to capture images from the roof of a campus building and duplicate keys sitting on a café table about 200 feet away.
