Sprocket PictoPuzzle #1
With all this Mayan “2012″ and Apophis end-of-times nonsense, I thought we could all use a little brain teaser to relax.
The following 11 images are generated automatically using the Google Images API. Which image should come next? If you’re stuck, try regenerating the images for new clues.
For those awesome enough to figure it out, post a link to the NEXT possible image, and rejoice with superior laughter over your defeated peers.
”24” Season 8 Bingo!
Every season I swear I’m quitting.
The plots are horribly recycled, and the real-time aspect has become overly gimmicky. But I’m too hooked at this point and I’ve given up trying to fight it. Jack Bauer is just too badass and my liberal brain needs an outlet.
So to make “24″ easier to digest, I’ve decide Bingo cards are in order.
And speaking of original ideas, I’ve apparently run out myself.
As I sat down to code up a JavaScript “24″ Bingo card generator, I happened to notice that someone had beaten me to the punch by a good two years. Much credit and cheers to plutor.org for their incredibly awesome original 24 Bingo Card, from which I am technically now “inspired”.
This newer version works in some recent “24″ cliches from the past couple seasons.
“24″ Day 8 premieres January 17th at 9PM on FOX. Dammit!
Reader Challenge: 50 Ways To Close A Window
X
A while back I was using a spawn of Linux for some work-related task. I went to close a window — and failed miserably. Having been raised in a strict Microsoft Windows household, I was momentarily displaced. Apparently my preferred window closing method, double-clicking the upper-left icon, wasn’t included in this particular distro.
It was then that I realized just how many freakin’ ways there were to close a Window’s window. So…
Reader Challenge: To my staggeringly few loyal readers, let’s come up with 50 ways to close a window in Windows (any/all versions). I’ll get us started with 10 easy ones.
- Left-click the upper-right X.
- Left-click the upper-left icon, click “Close” or “Exit”.
- Right-click the upper-left icon, click “Close”.
- Left-click “File”, click “Close” or “Exit”.
- Double-click the upper-left icon.
- Right-click the titlebar, click “Close”.
- With the window active, hit ALT+F4.
- Right-click the item in the taskbar, click “Close”.
- Hit CTRL+ALT+DEL, choose item from “Applications”, click “End Task”.
- Hit CTRL+ALT+DEL, choose “explorer.exe” from “Processes”, click “End Process”.
Post your methods in the comments and I will update this list as they come. And a million Sprocket Points to the most outside-the-box method.
