MathsNet Interactive Geometry is a very nice puzzle game where you have to place certain number of cubes in 3D space so that the figure will look certain way from the front, right and top. Some of them are very easy, but other are somewhat challenging.
Galves Adventure is a new game by On from Eyezmaze. It’s very well done and fun to play for a while, until it gets very frustrating because you have to repeat the same stuff several times to reach certain point in the game. It’s still a great game though, and reaching the end is very rewarding. I wrote a walkthrough in case you get stuck, you can find it here
How to Write a Spelling Corrector is a very interesting article where Peter Norvig explains how to write an efficient spelling corrector. It’s a great read and coming from Norvig it probably shares some insight on the inner workings of Google’s spelling corrector.
Glass-wing Buterflies is a set of pictures of “glass-wing butterflies” which are basically butterflies with transparent wings. Really amazing pictures.
Pearls Before Breakfast is an article by Gene Weingarten about a social experiment which consisted on getting Joshua Bell (one of the best violinists in the world) to play outside of a Metro station to see how much money he could make and how people would react. The results are pretty much as expected, pretty much no one payed attention to him. However the article is very well written and shares some interesting points. After reading it you can’t help but ask yourself, “Would I have stopped?”. Personally, I don’t know, I’d like to think that I would have, but in reality I’m not sure…
Jelly Jumper is a fun little game where you control a Jelly man who’s objective is to jump around a keyboard. It’s very well done and quite fun.
