Random Thursday (ˈrandəm ˈTHərzdā): the day on which Sarah plunks down all the odd bits and pieces she’s been sent by friends or has otherwise stumbled upon this week in an effort to avoid writing a real post, the assembly of which usually ends up taking twice as much time as sitting down and creating actual content.
If you want coherent awesomeness, back up to yesterday’s post and read what people who are capable of coherent awesomeness have to say.
You want a look at the bits and pieces that shuffled themselves to the surface of my aching brain in time to be tossed into a post while I squinted balefully at the screen through one of my ever-delightful sinus headaches, read on.

It’s a Con! It’s Trap! It’s a Time Suck!
Physicsgames.net is a great place to
lose a few hours
learn about the valuable, practical applications of physics in a fun way,
like popping little gluey guys as they slide into a series of distillation beakers
(Yeah, I don’t know either—must be a physicist thing).
Or building Fantastic Contraptions.
In this game, you take wheels, rods, magnets, and other objects from the top of the screen . . .
to build a contraption in the blue workspace that will deliver the pink ball to the goal space . . .
Like so:
Sometimes you can even keep your contraption from falling over.
