- Untangle, a flash game about representing graphs as planar with straight edges. (Hmm, are there planar graphs that can’t be drawn with straight edges? Not clear to me.) I linked to another game like this before, but this one’s better.
- TypeRacer, if you’re curious how fast you type. (I’m usually in the 95-100 wpm range, it seems.) (Via Game | Life.)
- Japanese anatomy scrolls from 1819.
- The Piet programming language. (Via Notional Slurry.)
-
An amazing video:

- Japanese highway interchanges. (Via Pink Tentacle.)
-
(Via Vacuum.)
- Pretty pictures. (Via Drawn!.)
