Don't let me down.

I often contemplate what it would be like to live a granulated, cube-shaped existence, and thanks to the folks over at Pizmo Games, now I can. Allow me to introduce you to the campy game, Sugar Crash.

You are a sugar cube that apparently goes by the name "Mr. Sugar," and your job is to keep a kid bouncing so he can pop balloons that contain Fun, Laffs, and even Joy. But you have to keep an eye on his blood sugar level; bounce this little fella' too much without allowing him to take a nap, and he will suffer a SUGAR CRASH!

This game is as much fun to look at and listen to as it is to play. So go ahead and help this little tike get high. Link.

The Monkey Bandit is Back!

All right stop, collaborate and listen, Monkey Bandit is back with a brand new invention. We have categories! I have gone through all the old post and place them in categories to help make the posts easier to track. There is still the monthly archive, but now when are trying to find "that thing, with humor, that had a link..." You can!

"Moichendizing, moichendizing..."

"Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the website is made.

Monkey Bandit-the T-shirt, Monkey Bandit-the Coloring Book, Monkey Bandit-the Lunch box, Monkey Bandit-the Breakfast Cereal, Monkey Bandit-the Flame Thrower!"

Hello all, I decided to make a Monkey Bandit Gift Shop (duh). I made the shop primarily for my own amusement being that I only make a buck or two per item sold. But if you see something you just got'sta have (you know you want a Monkey Bandit Throw Pillow)!

As it says in the Monkey Bandit Gift Shop, "You too can be Monkey Bandit fabulous!"

Confusion Hill Goodness!

Calling all Northern California, Highway 101 travelers. It turns out
that Robert over at RetroCrush.com (one of my favorite pop culture
sites) has some kin up in my home county of Humbodlt.

On a recent visit to his in-laws he decided to take some pictures and
write a review on some of the oddities to be found on Highway
101 such as Confusion Hill and the Trees of Mystery.



You too can witness the amazing "Twin Towers Memorial Trees."

Take a gander and be amazed!

Let there be light!

Well, I just returned from the land of Disney and I have to say that merriment was experienced by all. I should be back to my normal writing schedule in about a week.


Ohhhhh...pretty.

Screech and then boom.

So I was sitting down stairs, it's about a quarter after eleven in the evening, when I here the skidding of tires and grinding of metal outside my front door. Out the door I go and well...

Let me just say this; fast car, slick road, 15 year old sans-license.

Not enough, umm; brick wall, cement light post, "my dad's gonna kill me."

More info you say? Well, pictures shot from my upstairs window speak louder than words.



Screech kaboom says the car to the wall.


Whoop, whoop says the ambulance.


It's 11:15 PM. Do you know where your front wheels are?

The Joy of Firefox.

Okay all you web enthusiasts, it's time for you to switch to Firefox. For those of you wondering what Firefox is, it is a browser that will release you from the mundane MS Internet Explorer. Once you experience tabbed browsing, your world will never be the same again.

The greatness of Firefox lies in it's Extensions. The program is open source which allows people to create plugins that add to your browsing enjoyment.

Here are some of my Favs:

FoxeyTunes 0.61 - Control any media player from Firefox and more...

Image Zoom 0.1.7 - Adds zoom functionality for Windows. (Not overly useful, but very cool.)

Gmail Notifier 0.3.3 - Let's you know when you've got Gmail.

Close Tab on Double Click 0.1.2 - Does what it's called.

That's all for now. Part of the joy of Firefox is finding the extensions that work best for you. Enjoy!

If you try it let me know what you think in the comments section.

Slick Wheels.

The first thing I have to say about the following link is that the video is faked, but a very cool concept.

"Draw a straight line on top of the car, lift the pen and the car shoots off in a straight line. Draw a circle on the car and the car starts wildly spinning around. Draw a complicated squiggle and the car spirals in and out."



"Sketch-a-Move allows you to explore the unique relationships between small surface doodles and actual physical movements. It creates a new engaging space for play amongst children of a wide age group and is appealing to boys as well as girls, and even adults!"

This toy is very cool, and I want one, but they don't exist which makes me sad. See what it would be like if this toy did exist, check it out!

Anybody else want one?

There's a new blog in town...

Well here it is the new blog in town. Prepare thyself for the Monkey Bandit!
