Zamboni Google Doodle
Zamboni Google Doodle
(say that three times really fast)
Maybe Google is celebrating the return of ice hockey, but it's also the birthday of Frank Zamboni, the inventor of his namesake, the iconic ice resurfacer.
The game is easy to play; Press the arrow "start" button and a little skater will come out, skate around and leave a trail on the ice.
Then, using the arrow keys, drive the Zamboni around to resurface the ice.
Not an exciting game, but like most doodles done with a pencil and paper, it's simply a way to pass time.
As if there's not enough ways to do that on the Internet.
Here's another time waster, but at least it will increase your trivia knowledge:
8 Things You Don’t Know About the Zamboni Machine

waxing
waxing\WAK-sing\ , verb;
1. To increase in extent, quantity, intensity or power.
2. (Of the moon) to increase in the extent of its illuminated portion before the full moon.
3. To grow or become.
The moon has been waxing full over the last couple of weeks and we're now in a full moon. I might need to howl tonight. (Correction, the full moon is Saturday night, my birthday as it happens. I probably won't howl, though.)
The way I tell if the moon is waxing or waning is to see how the moon's "shape" corresponds to the letters "D - O - C" If the moon looks like a filled in "D", then the moon is waxing or coming full. When it looks like the letter "C", then the moon is waning.
(If someone tells you it's waning, they might not be talking about the moon. It could very well be Elmer Fudd caught in a thunderstorm)
The procedure is reversed if you're in the Southern Hemisphere; the letters are "C-O-D". This is better explained at Moon Phases - Names and images of the 8 phases of the moon
I wanted to include a moon widget, but the darned thing takes over the entire post and "wraps itself" around my comments. I signed up at the site to get the code, but then had to jump through hoops to find it. I also wanted to nab the code for the image (and not javascript) version, but it never let me sign in. Oh well. Life's too short to waste time on such crapola.
The old reliable Wunderground still offers up all sorts of stickies for your blog or website, including this moon graphic:

WebSitePulse Test Tools
From the site:
The Web page test verifies the URL availability, downloads the complete HTML content, the images and all the other internal web page objects and measures the download speed of each of the components. The test results display DNS time, connect time, first and last byte times for each of the web page objects. Common use of the web page test is to verify the availability and response time of the page HTML contents, images and all other objects. This test is limited to the initial 30 page objects.

I also use their time sync app. I hadn't run it in a while and checked my PC's clock just before midnight to make sure I had the correct time. I was off by 8 seconds!
I really shouldn't bother; the sounds of guns being fired in the air lets me know the new year has arrived.

Maukie - The Virtual Cat
Maukie is the fiercest, cutest cat ever to terrorize your mouse pointer. Move your cursor and Maukie will follow. Scratch her head, and she'll meow. Rub her tummy, and she'll purr. All the while, she's breathing in and out, and watch the tail. She may even try to swat the cursor. The creator of this entertaining feline is unknown.
