To keep the tradition alive and mainly because life isn’t all about work, one should have fun too so here’s part 5. The cool thing about these games is that they also run on the newest mobile phones such as Sony Ericsson T610 T630, Z600, P800 and P900. As I get it these are free but you have to download them to your phone. More info about other supported models here. Ideal for those death moments waiting at the airport.

In just a few weeks we will know more of what’s coming in Apple’s next operating system 10.4 aka “Tiger”. Steve Jobs will reveal everything at this years World Wide Developers Conference 2004 taken place from June 28th till July 2nd in San Francisco. The slogan alone makes me just more curious “Innovation never sleeps. Preview the highly evolved Mac OS X “Tiger”

Time for al little break as the week is coming to an end. I posted all previous games of Yeti and the Penguin, so without further delay here is part 4 called Albatross Overload.

Especially my Ozi visitors will like the game since it takes place on a Australian beach. As you probably guessed the penguin has yet again a central role but this time you have to aim it so that the penguin flies together with the albatross.

The first click is to shoot the penguin at the right moment and all other clicks are used to flap the wings of the albatross. The secret here is not to click too much but letting the albatross glide so that his wing power gets a boast.

After a few games I was able to collect this score 2862,32 ;-)

The answer is NO it doesn’t!  What is the worse possible geometric shape to make an item roll?  A square. Well guess what, even a bicycle with squared wheels can ride like a charm… that is of course if the road exists of a sequence of jarring bumps. Stan Wagon, a mathematician at McAlester College in St. Paul, Minn., has a bicycle with square wheels that runs smoothly. His secret lays in the shape of the road over which the wheels roll. A square wheel can roll smoothly, keeping the axle moving in a straight line and at a constant velocity, if it travels over evenly spaced bumps of just the right shape.

However steering remains a bit difficult. Hold on… switch to fantasy mode with me ... Imagine you are driving with your car and the traditional bicycle lanes now have these weird looking bumps. For safety it wouldn’t be that bad because cars won’t cross it without noticing it.

But then again, if I see all those people riding those weird looking bikes, it could very well be some kind of a scene out of a Monty Python movie. I think it’s safe to say that we won’t see this in a nearby future. Guess this proves that people can do weird things with their free time ;-)

Now that Summer is on its way and it's Easter Holiday, it might be the perfect moment to plan your Summer holiday. Let's explore and dream away for a moment... Which destination? Do you have an idea of where you would like to go or do you need some ideas? Well, here is some warming up for you.

On the right of the panorama you get an extra option to zoom in and sometimes there is extra content to view, really cool!

This one was too good not to share don't you think? I've bookmarked this site.
