Video of the Day
Pretty spiffy video which combines light-emitting diodes and strobe lights to create the illusion of time being sped up, stopped & even reversed.

Jamie Lidell - Multiply
Song of the Day
If you are a fan of Warp Records or Jamie Lidell's older work then the first time you heard this song it probably threw you for a loop (sigh....ok bad pun). While his back-catalog tends to reside in electronic loops and laptop compositions, "Multiply" is a classic sunny-day R&B/Soul song (think Motown). Its irresistible bass line coupled with a melody that burrows itself in your head (and might just decide to permanently dwell there) is simply undeniable. Do yourself a favor and give this one a listen.

The Fancy Pants Adventure
Site of the Day
The Fancy Pants Adventure
This game combines the best aspects of Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros and wraps it up in a tidy package. You play as the hero Fancy Pants, who runs, jumps and slides his way through a brilliantly animated hand-drawn world. As you proceed through the game you will encounter spiders and other obstacles which will try to thwart your progress. Depending on how thoroughly you cover each level you may even unlock an option that enables you to climb on the walls a la Ninja Gaiden. This game has a few small flaws usually resulting from the level layout, but overall it will not hamper the game play. I highly recommend giving it a try. Be certain you do not have any java script blockers on and have at least Flash Player 8.
