Life is Hard

Life Is Hard is a very brief platform game offering an exploration of just how difficult life can be. Just use your left, right arrows to move around and up to jump. Take a moment to enjoy this entertaining, little game and let me know what you think of it.

Locus OS

This location-based operating system called the Locus OS is pretty damn slick. The operating system was designed by a guy named Barton Smith and supposedly the multiple widget desktops are designed around locations (home, work, car) and automatically switches between desktops thanks to GPS and Wi-Fi mapping.
