Life Is Hard is a very brief platform game offering an exploration of just how difficult life can be. Just use your left, right arrows to move around and up to jump. Take a moment to enjoy this entertaining, little game and let me know what you think of it.
Retro Sabotage – Retrogaming: classic games we know and love with a twist. Their latest hilariously sabotaged game is called Jumping and it’s quite silly.

Happy Festivus everyone! It’s another way to celebrate the season without participating in all the pressures and commercialism of other certain holidays, which will remain nameless. It’s time to join with your family and friends around the Festivus pole. I sure hope you’re ready for the airing of grievances, cause I’ve got some doozies.
Small Wonder aired for five seasons in syndication and often reran out of order, to the chagrin of fans. The show has since withstood the test of time to emerge as a classic laser beacon of 80s nostalgia and pop culture. Marking 24 years after the initial premiere on network television, Small Wonder: The Complete First Season, finally debuts on DVD for the first time on February 16, 2010 from Shout! Factory.
She’s fantastic, made of plastic, microchips here and there . . . she’s a Small Wonder! 
With my own baby due really soon, the topic of X-Babies (Mojo-manufactured child clones of the X-Men) came to my attention with the latest comic issue #3. I like the artwork and sure they’re cute bundles of mutant joy, but they’re more like toddlers. I guess X-Toddlers doesn’t have the same ring to it as X-Babies does. They’re byproducts of the “going baby” phase everyone did in the 1980s, thanks in part to Jim Henson’s Muppet Babies. I can just imagine Prof. X as Nanny, wearing those striped socks, never seeing his face and doing mind probes on the gang.
He who struggles and endures will be a ninja – and he’s out of retirement!
Just when you thought Shel Silverstein was busy being deceased he comes out with a new album. As a big fan of him and his books and records, I was totally surprised to hear about his latest work called Underwater Land.
Enjoy seventeen delightful underwater themed songs, written by Shel Silverstein and sung by Pat Dailey for minnows of all ages. Featuring a beautiful 32-page booklet of previously unreleased Silverstein lyrics and illustrations, Underwater Land overflows with the zany humor and poignant wit that has made Shel Silverstein one of the world’s most popular and best-loved children’s authors of all time.
I used to have his vinyl records years ago, but have since lost them I believe. I don’t even have any of his books. But I’ve got most of his humorous rhymes in my heart.
A curved barrel machine gun? A speechless phone-answering robot? A “tasty” mixture of honey and vinegar called Honegar? Brilliant, you say? Ingenious, you mutter. No, they’re just some of the 30 dumb inventions over at Life. These historical blunders are quite entertaining and I bet people are still coming up with dumb inventions. In fact, I’ll give you a few off the top of my head: rechargeable toilet paper, inflatable contact lens, heated ice cube trays and a dateless calendar. Can you come up with some?
