Falling Sand and del.icio.us
Wow, it’s been a week since my last post. I was on vacation from Sunday through Wednesday and was just busy the other two days. I’m gonna wait to post about the vacation until I can pull some pics off my mom’s camera. Until then…
Here’s a site that I frequent to find out out what everybody else frequents. It’s called del.icio.us and it’s basically a place where you can warehouse your favorites to share with others, as well as checking out other people’s favorites. If you surf around and click on the popular link you’ll run across all kinds of interesting things.
For example, I came across this falling sand "game". There is a lot of interplay between the different "ingredients" and you can do some crazy stuff. Let’s just say I wasted about an hour on this yesterday. Here are a couple things you can try with it:
If you want to make this go forever, try this:
1. Stop Time=x0
2. Use Pen sizex32 and paint entire area with Sprout
3. Stop sand/water/salt/oil = x0
4. Use Pen sizex8 to draw circle with Plant
5. Draw 3-5 diagonals across the circle with Plant
6. Paint a little fire in the middle of the circle where Plant diagonals intersect
and another one:
Step 1. Time = 0
Step 2. Fill screen with salt using 32x Brush
Step 3. Release the Namakuji
Step 4. Time = 1
Step 5. …
Step 6. FIREWORKS 
Anyway, it’s a complete waste of perfectly good time at work. Don’t we all need something like that?
