Game of the Week: City Jumper

You are a small stick figure with a penchant for leaping over tall buildings, bridges, and maybe even catching a seagull or two.
Enjoy City Jumper

Presidential Politics

I am a big fan of Dennis Kucinich. I am also a big fan of the Minneapolis and St. Paul. I think it would be awesome to have him visit. So much so that I created an eventful posting for it. Check it out.

An Unreasonable Man

I've been watching "An Unreasonable Man" over the last few days. It has reminded me how much I can admire the passion and the fervor that Ralph Nader has for pretty much everything I believe and stand for. I have been so frustrated and fed up with our political system for the last few months watching the Democrats sacrifice everything they have stood for.
A few years ago I read "Crashing the Party: Taking on the Corporate Government in an Age of Surrender" and began my love affair with Ralph Nader's ideas. It is so frustrating to hear people blame Nader for the Bush regime.

Friday-ish Fun Link: Bloons Tower Defence

If I can find a game that my wife is fascinated with as much as I am, it is usually a sure sign of an entertaining game. Kill the evil bloons! Kill them with dart throwing monkey towers!

Here is a great video by one of my new favorite bands: Fiest

Sprint Triathalon

No doubt some of you are readers of my twitter postings and may have wondered, why would Jason roll from St. Paul to Fergus Falls. This journey even held me back from posting a game of the week (like Newsbreaker). I am now a triathlete and about two days ago I would never had considered myself anything that has the root word athelete.

About a month ago, Nate Houge contacted me and informed me that he was hosting a sprint triathalon at his house. Which came in handy because it turns out that I had been training for a sprint triathalon for that past two years (just not every month). It was a great time, and I have lived to tell the story.

We began with a 1/2 mile suede (swim + wade) through Otter Tail Lake, then hopped on our bikes for a theoretical 15 mile bike ride, and then walked 3.2 miles back to the Houge Household for Brats and Blue Ribbons. Some of us accidentally took the scenic route and had more of a 18 mile bike ride, but it was so worth it.

This is one of my new favorite videos.

Political Link: Pick Your Candidate

I've always struggled with how to pick and ideal candidate to support. As far as I can tell by the conservative media's standpoint some form of mutant that finds just about every Democrat and Republican a little too conservative. I figure it would be fun to post a few political links every now and again.
Here is a tool that allows you to rank your most stances on different issues and weigh them from meh to key. The only downside to this tool is it only includes the republican and democratic candidates.

Which-Way Adventure

I loved Choose your own adventure books when I was a kid. This game helps me relive the memories, if only I could hold my finger in the page before I was eaten by a giant manticore...

Wednesday Video: Internet Crash

The internet crash of 2007!

Vensday Video: Neuro

Today I discovered a wonderful short flash based film entitled Neuro. It deals with the struggles of living in apartments near airports... or something.

Marketing Manager - Netherlands Style

Here is a rather entertaining Olympic style game that is all about being a marketing manager. I am sure this is some sort of advertisement for something, but on the bright side, I can't translate it, so I don't want to buy it.

Enjoy.

The Gnomes are Falling

I play another mmo but someday I think I will play World of Warcraft. I was astounded by the creativity of the gold farmers in WoW as seen in this video. Enjoy.

Rocky's Biscuit Breakout

You are a wiener dog that really loves biscuits, you also happen to have lost out on your life calling to join Cirque de Soleil. Throw the dog around and catch him in the trampoline. This game makes Arkanoid look easy.

An Overdue Video Post

Hey Happy 5th of July, I hope everyone got a chance to revel in their freedom yesterday. My wife and I parked our car in front of our cranky neighbor's house. That made me feel free.
Here is the video:

iPhone = NSA Surveillance Device

A great article evaluating the iPhone and its service provider AT&T. I suppose all telco's are evil when you get to the bottom of it. AT&T is just a little more evil.

Gas Prices Got You Down?

Don't worry about high gas prices, you can play this great little mindless simulation game and be a gas station attendant just like at the gas station down the street... (in 1950). You fuel cars and if you are quick about it the customers will pay you even more! Just like in the real world.

BP Gas Mania

Cat of Insanity

I have a thing for cat videos. This cat has some serious crazy noise issues going on.

Flugtag Tournament

You are a pilot, your objective to fly further than all other pilots in the distance competition taking place over a lake. Awe yeah, good fun. Apparently sponsored by RedBull Energy Drinks.
