Beer
If you ask woollydoozer (he made the movie) for a beer it might take long so sit down and relax.

Dancing drawings
Pictaps is a very cool site where you can draw your own person, and then the person you drew will do a crazy dance. I named my guy 'Perogie'. Too bad I can't draw better...The same guy also made this really weird toy.

Lego galore
Brickshelf.com is devoted entirely to pictures of Lego creations. From there I found links to the International Lego Users group and a site of instructions for building Lego creations. A while ago I bookmarked this site devoted entirely to Star Wars Lego.

Tree-climbing goats
This looks like something out of Doctor Seuss but apparently there really are goats that climb trees in Morocco! The world is more weird and wonderful than anyone could imagine.
Follow up: Everyone I have shown this photo to claims it must be a hoax. Maybe it is but the original site is here.
Newspaper comics galore
King Features Syndicate is a site that features many newspaper comics (a few weeks behind their newspaper publishing schedule). In particular, maybe you'll like Bizarro, and Baby Blues. If you are looking for some humour, you can also check out Comics.com, and GoComics.com. I love Calvin and Hobbes.

How to paint a Picasso
Some people say think that Pablo Picasso was the best painter of all time. I was just at his birth place in Malaga, Spain, so I had a particular interest in this video showing a time lapse view of how he painted one painting. The most interesting thing to me is to see how much he changed his mind as he painted!
Super Mario War 1.7 Released for OS X!
'Super Mario War' is described as "a head-to-head deathmatch adaptation of Super Mario Brothers"....The goal is to stomp as many other Marios as possible to win the game. It has just been ported to OS X! It is also available for the PSP. The home page for the game is here.

Free software for Macintosh
FreeMacWare.com is a very good site for getting (legally) free software for the Mac. There are quite a few games here.
Scary Mary
I like this video pretending to advertise the movie 'Mary Poppins' as if it were a horror movie.
Another Rube Goldberg machine
Here's a good Rube Goldberg machine (as those crazy contraptions are called).
How to spend your billions
Jeff Bezos founded Amazon.com, the on-line store, and became a billionaire from it. He is using some of his billions to develop cheap space travel vehicles. This is the site about it, which also shows video from their first test-flight in January, 2007.
The 50 greatest cartoons of all time
Some years ago there was a book about the 50 greatest cartoons of all time, as voted on by people in the animation industry. You can watch a lot of the ones they chose as the greatest ones here. I always loved 'One Froggy Evening', the one linked here.
Boat floating on 'air'
This boat looks like it is floating on air, but it is actually floating on sulfur hexafluoride, which is 5.11 times as dense as air.
