Last night I watched the final episode of Joe Mil­lion­aire. Inter­est­ingly enough, it was the first and the last episode I watched of this “real­ity” series. Any­body think that Evan “Joe” Mar­riott looks dis­turbingly like a gigan­tic Tarzan. He seemed kind of frozen in time when they revealed the twist at the end, when the lit­tle hob­bit but­ler put in his two cents and then pre­sented the cou­ple with a million-dollar check. Woo. Real­ity TV. Woo.

Sar­casm aside, here’s some odd links that you might find enjoy­able and sweetly satisfying;

Scroll­bar Rac­ing sounds strange and the mechan­ics of this site are in fact, strange. You see, you’ve got 4 multi-colored scroll­bars that scroll and you vote on which bar is going to win the ver­ti­cal dive first. That’s it.

Pho­toma­con is a car­toon pro­file gen­er­a­tor. Much like the Pop­corn­heads on kartooner.com, the only dif­fer­ence here being that the site is entirely in French. No wor­ries though, it’s all self-explanatory. Is it just me or do these char­ac­ters look sim­i­lar to Duck­man? Oh how I miss the buck-toothed wise guy.

Dub­ster’ Park­ing Spots is an odd­ity mixed with pure genius. Sim­ply con­coct a sim­ple idea that sparks a sense of inge­nu­ity and you’ve got some­thing like this. Play­ing with per­spec­tive and scale has always been the guilty plea­sure of homosapi­ens across the Earth. How­ever, using these meth­ods with toy cars and var­i­ous loca­tions — well.. just take a look for your­self. It really is novel.

Orisi­nal by Ferry Halim is a col­lec­tion of cutesy pastel-colored inven­tions. Ever played a Flash game at Shockwave.com and said to your­self, “It was good. But, not that orig­i­nal.”? Well, look no fur­ther because these Flash games are all about orig­i­nal­ity! They’re addic­tive lit­tle bug­gers. Try some.
