FIND
THE
DRAGON |
These are some shorter versions
of the coming full version. You have your choice of several here,
including a few that are just tongue in cheek. (Note:
All versions but one require a Java- and Javascript-enabled browser.)
FULL VERSION IS IN DEVELOPMENT
The full version will be a combination
quest/basic computer skills learning game. If you'd like to be an
informal beta tester (i.e., look at it while it's being developed, when
and if you feel like it, and make comments or suggestions, no charge, no
pay), just
email
me and I'll email you the secret URL. Novices to experts are all
welcome, so don't be shy. (Limited to the first 50 who respond.) |
FIND
THE
REFRIGERATOR |
For the guy who asked me why
on earth I was writing a game called "Find The Dragon," here's a much less
intimidating, shorter and MUCH less intriguing/interesting/mythical game,
and one with LOTS fewer good available graphics. (Click on the link
to the left for your first hint.) |
| DRAGON'S
LAIR |
Take a look at The Dragon's Lair
and listen to something inside. (Is
that The Dragon? We'll all know when the Full Version is finished.) |
WARP
THE
DRAGON'S
LAIR |
This is a really cool effect
from Alex Rosen, but you need a
Java-enabled browser for it to work (if you don't, it'll let you know).
Once the page loads, just click and drag any part of the picture to warp
it. Make your own modern art. (A challenge: How quickly
can you turn it into a FULL bright red rectangle? BB's record is
12 seconds. Let me know if you beat that.) There's also more
stuff to warp there, too. Samples |
| MOUSETRAILS |
Some mostly blank pages for those
who'd just like to make cutesy, pointless mouse moves. A TOTAL waste
of time, but at least it's user-controlled. (And a little surprise
when you're done with that page, too, but this one's benign.) |
KEYBOARD
PIANO |
Another cutesy waste of time.
This is a nice Java applet that turns your keyboard into a piano.
(There are several sound files to download, so it may take some time if
you're on a dialup modem.) |
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY |
Is today your birthday?
Here you can have BB (and a slightly STRANGE buddy) wish you a good one.
There's also a link to a site that shows you how to say "Happy Birthday"
in over 160 languages. And if you'd like to send this to someone
for their birthday, you can just click on the EMAIL link at the bottom.
(And invite them to click on HOME when they're done.) |
HUNT
OSAMA
BIN LADEN
STUFF |
A collection of links to OBL-related
games, cartoons and other stuff on getting this rotten megalomaniac and
putting him out of our misery. (Once he's disposed of for real, that
page will be removed, but for now, maybe some of it is psychologically
useful in some ways, but at least occasionally entertaining, and we all
need some of that these days, right?) |
| JIGSAW
PUZZLES |
COURTESY OF WWW.JIGZONE.COM.
All the photos in BB's photo gallery as jigsaw puzzles, ranging from 6
to 247 pieces (your choice). You can also find lots of other jigsaw
puzzles on their home page.
(Suggestion: Open this link in a new window.) |
| 3D
IMAGEMAKER |
From Xara.com. Wait for
it to load, then type any text in the box and you'll see a 3D image that
you can save and use if you want. (You can change the style, font
and size, but the background is always white.) It's a VERY intriguing
effect. |
BEACH
BOB'S
HUMOR
LIST |
A free email list you can join
to receive my occasional batches of mostly clean humor. (And
if you want to also receive a bit of somewhat raunchier humor, ask to be
added to the "C List.") |
ODDLY
ENOUGH |
Weird/odd/funny news headllines
and brief stories from Reuters, at Yahoo. Updated daily Monday -
Friday, and they have archives of past stories. |
| FLYING
COW |
A weird/stupid/fun little skill
game, but it's a GREAT time-waster! |
REALLY
STUPID LAUGH |
One of the most awful, stupid
yet infectious laughs I've ever heard. If you're on a dial-up modem,
it'll take a while to download (it's 218KB). But you're welcome to
save it (and maybe play it over the phone when the telemarketers call in
the midst of dinner). And you might also want to play it after you've won
the toughest level of "Find The Dragon," IF you actually win there. |
RECORDS
SEARCH |
Ever wonder what's in public
records about you? The folks at this site claim that you can find
out from them, allegedly. |

ACCORDION
JOKES |
Yup, there's a site that's got
'em. Click there to see 'em. And accept the appropriate
apologies if you play one. |
