Remember our post on Post-It Pixel Wall? Well, here’s some Post-It Super Mario and Donkey Kong from 10 UC Santa Cruz students. Great job guys!

Donkey Kong (Miyamoto, et. al.,1981) was the first appearance of the Itallian plumber we now know as Mario. While this game’s early ’80s arcade popularity predates most of today’s engineering students, it represents the amazing results that a small development team can produce. Today Donkey Kong is ranked as the 3rd most popular arcade game of all time, selling over 65,000 units.

Currently this work is visible at the E2 building at UCSC, it is scheduled to be removed on or before May 1.

If you are a network manager or likes to mess with network stuff, you know what this localhost 127.0.0.1 Doormat is for. ( For your home, of course!)

For those of you non-network IT managers, 127.0.0.1 is the IP address of Localhost on a computer or server. You can do a test in DOS command line, “ping 127.0.0.1″, and see if your network card is workin’

Wikipedia has a good definition of Localhost and Answers has a good technical info on Localhost too.

We dare you to build a larger and better penny pyramid than this one…

We have all suffered from this affliction at one point or another. The subconscious act of simply dumping one pennies into a jar or other black hole type containers! In this site you will find economic reasons, constructive fun, and charitable options in ridding this uncontrollable urge. The “Penny Pyramid Project” is also here to promote and educate that the penny continues to be a very important denomination and that there are ways to responsibly collect, build, and donate this commonly hoarded coin.

This is got to be a joke…

Check out the CompuBeaver, a PC that does looks like a Beaver made out of a taxidermy beaver!

This is funny: (I feel bad for the beaver though…poor animal)

Because the inside was foam, I needed more internal structure and decided to fiberglass it. As awful as fiberglass is to deal with, it sure is strong stuff, and would allow drilling, etc., for the components and cords without fear of everything caving in.

What about Internet Addiction?

Oh yeah, that’s another related addiction. Take this test to see if you are a hardcore internet addict. I got a score of 55 and this message:

You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.
