Make delicious rice

Pro Tip: Rice is good for you, but it can be a bit boring. First trick is to make sure you are using filtered water to cook it. Second, to make it tasty, use chicken or beef bouillon to make the rice. Yum! If you are a vegetarian/vegan you can use veggie stock.

Here’s an internet classic. This one was around in high school, but it remains one of the best. You are flying a helicopter. You have one control, clicking means you go up. Do not hit the walls:

Make Ramen Tastier

Pro Tip: In college I ate a lot of ramen. I was lazy and hungry all the time, which is a rough combination. Anyways, my girlfriend taught me how to make ramen tastier. When you are done cooking the noodles, dump out most of the water. Then stir in your flavor packets. Yum. Enjoy the sodium!

Flash Game Friday: Dino Runner

Hey sorry about the lack of content gang, I busted my knee last weekend so I’ve kind of been dealing with that. Great news, I’m on the mend. A doctor sucked about 90mls of fluid out of my knee and gave me some anti-inflammories and stuff.

Anyways here is a great little game that I just remembered from a while back: Dino Run. Its an 8-bit game where you are a dinosaur running away from the apacolypse. Eat eggs and small mammals to gain points to evolve (or change intelligently) to get faster and stronger. Enjoy! This one, also, will eat your life:

Ice Your Wounds

Pro Tip: Here is a homemade icepack that will beat the whatever out of anything you can buy in stores. Here is what you need:

Water

Gallon Ziplock bags

70ish% rubbing alcohol

Here’s how you make it. Basically you mix an alcohol to water ratio of 1:3. I made one yesterday where I put 1 cup of alcohol in with 3 cups of water. Make sure you double or even triple bag this bad boy. I guarantee you this will leak. For that reason make sure you don’t put it over top of any food that you don’t want tasting like methanol. Also, make sure that you put some cloth between this bag and your skin. It is cold. Very cold. Enjoy.

Keep your back straight

Pro Tip: This one comes from my yoga instructor buddy Evelyn. Did you know that over the course of the day, your spine compresses up to an inch? Don’t take my word for it, measure yourself first thing in the morning then before you go to bed. Here is a tip to keep your posture as good as possible over the course of the day. When you first get into your car in the morning, sit as tall as possible, and then adjust your rearview mirror to the top of that range, so that by sitting tall is the only way you can see behind you. In the afternoon, do not adjust your mirror. Let the stretching of your spine be what allows you to see behind your car.

Flash Game Friday: Cyclomaniacs

I like bicycling, and here is a game about bicycling. You basically race through levels, doing sweet stunts (pro tip, do back wheelies everywhere) and getting new bikes (you can get one with elvis):

Eat cheetos without getting your fingers dirty

chondromalasia — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:55:18 +0000

Pro Tip: If you are like me, and are having a lot of trouble combining you dual passions of eating cheetos and using the computer, boy do I have a solution for you. Just eat the cheetos with chopsticks and BOOM, no orange fingers (the best part of eating cheetos in my opinion, but not when you have to type or are playing video games).

This is why we have the internet
