A guy named Ola in Norway is collecting one million giraffes and he needs them by the end of the year to win a bet. He’s got 824,025 of them so far (probably more by the time I click the “publish” button). The only rule is you can’t use a computer to make your giraffe(s). Here’s a video of him explaining why he wants a million of them. Anyways, I just sent him these two!

Since pressing all the buttons on the laptop below did not produce any tasty edibles (just beeps and burps), Zara has decided to perform for her treats!

This is a cute illustration by Alex Noriega. I don’t know if TikiRobot and this robot would be compatible as friends, since TikiRobot is likely to be making mai-tais or tossing frisbees to dogs instead of eating people…but maybe he wouldn’t mind break-dancing.

Chet Phillips is an illustrator who’s done a fantabulous series of digital tiki paintings. You can order them at his Etsy shop.

I have to admit, I rarely, if ever, play online games (or computer games of any sort). But lately, I’ve been addicted to this game called Draw My Thing which is basically online, multiplayer Pictionary. It’s so much fun! It’s one of many games that’s part of i’m in like with you. I haven’t played any of the other games yet but I really like Draw My Thing. Sign up so we can play! :-)
