For the Insomniac

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004

1) Solve a shellfish mystery.

2) Keep the drunk guy from falling over.

3) I’ve never been able to get stereograms to work, but here’s one that’s text based.

4) Listen to audio from old beat poets.

5) Via Vice Squad, all of you future Sam Farhas out there can bone up on Texas Hold ‘Em via these two poker blogs. Who knows, maybe you’ll one day find yourself in a tournament showdown with Kid Ben Affleck.

6) Um, wasn’t me. (Via Brooke)

    The stereogram is brilliant. I’ll never even try to understand how those things work; I prefer to think it’s magic.

    My best score on the drunk guy is 64 meters, and he didn’t fall over like he normally does, he just collapsed.

    Did I miss the instructions on drunk guy? I can’t find them anywhere. How do you control the drunk guy? Come on, I’ve got a dealine that I need to jeopardize today! = ;)

    OK . . . I got it. I’m a dumbass.

    I’ve never been able to get those stereogram things to work for me. It looks like…a big gray box with some wavy lines in it? I think my brain is broken.

    But I am pretty good at “drunk guy”. 75 meters so far. :-) Loose translation of text (not that you really need it, but I need the translation practice):
    starting sign: START – click here!
    ending sign: You got him this far. Try again? Click here!
    sign at the side: instructions
    instructions: Home Run at Albanifest. The Wagon Bar – THE party tent at the biggest annual city festival in central Europe! Sunday morning, 4:30 am. Carousing through the night with partying, music, a crowd of cool people, and more than a few drinks. One man seeks to master his return home. Can you help him? If he leans to the right, push your mouse left and counteract it. How far can you manage?

    If you want an interesting poker blog, find one called “stripper by night.”

    It’s a poker blog by a girl that is a regional manager of a movie theater chain by day, stripper at night and somehow still finds time to play a lot of poker, live and online.

    Here it is:
