Hey, thanks for sharing. I’m bookmarking it now. So, when will you update the list? ^^ I love zen’s article “8 Ways Doing Less Can Transform Your Work & Life”
Really motivate me.
Great you shared with us, thanks. I will see all. good job
Thanks for sharing all these sites with us. I am looking forward to getting around and visiting all of them.
So did you know that bamboo is dissapearing at an extremely fast rate in China. Destroying the natural habitat of Panda’s. Great read… Thanks
I watched the bamboo video and then read the transcript. It’s amazing that so few people know the story of Chinese bamboo. And who doesn’t love pandas :)
Thanks for sharing these, especially Brain Games… although my productivity may now go down ;-)
Space invaders….brilliant
The old simple games were/ are the best, they tested hand – eye coordination as well as enabling you to drift into both a kind of trance and state of intensity at the same time…
Ey, very good the video! I’m always trying to make diet and things are as easy as use the fotoshop so, ja,ja
Thanks for the post!

Irfan View is one of my favourites. I use it on my notebook, to view screenshots, open graphic files, etc. It is for free and works really well. One of those must-have little programs.
As far as Space Invaders is concerned I fail to be moved by nostalgic video games, excepting Tetris. That is another kettle of fish altogether!
Hi I’ve just checked out brain games and digg live and both of these websites are really cool. Thanks for sharing this list of sites.
Gosh! The space invaders! How much time has passed since I playd the last time,I remember the good times in recreative saloons playing this game…
(oh! How old I’ am!!!ja,ja)
Thanks for this interesting link!
