You may have noticed that Theme Lab now has a brand new design. I think it’s a huge improvement over the old ugly theme it had before. Lately I’ve also been updating a new site at Curiously Cool. It’s basically just a news site with interesting articles, usually science-related. Feel free to check it out and read some of the articles.
This is pretty random, hence it’s going to be filed under the “Random stuff” category. Basically it’s a quick three part quiz that asks questions to determine how many five year olds you could take in a fight. It judges you on physical ability, experience/training, and “moral compass” to compile the number. My score is below:
17
Feel free to take the quiz and respond with your score.
I came across the Free Rice website not too long ago. It’s a site which offers 20 grains of rice to charity per vocabulary word you correctly define. It’s a pretty effective way to expand your vocabulary skills, and it’s for a good cause. So far they have donated over 10 billion grains, and maybe a few thousand of those are mine. The idea is quite creative, if I do say so myself. Everyone wins: the sponsors of the site get exposure, the guy who owns freerice.com probably keeps money for himself to pay for “server costs,” the user of the site knows more useless vocabulary words, and most importantly – hungry people get rice.
