emWave Stress Relief System Now Available for Mac [Digital Prozac Helps Manage Stress for the Apple Set]

Robert Lesher — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:16:10 +0000

HeartMath LLC has been marketing their emWave brand of stress management software for some time now, but up until recently it has only been available to PC users. I guess they just figured that Mac users were more mellow by nature. Right on, man. While this might be true, it looks like they’ve decided to expand their market with their latest introduction, the emWave Mac Stress Relief System. (...)

So You Wanna Be An (Office) Rock Super Star – The Drum Finger Mousepad Will Get You There Faster!

Bo — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 21:32:22 +0000

I date a drummer and I spend a great deal of time looking for random drum toys to appease his hunger for his passion of drums. I’ve got him an array of steady sticks and bogus bags and now it looks like I’ll be adding the Finger Drum Mousepad to his collection.

The Lego Star Wars Symphony

Andrew Tingle — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 18:07:14 +0000

Ever so often we at Thoughts from the Sidelines like to take a small break from the regular postings to offer something a little different.

This weekend’s video features none other than Mr Darth Vader himself – known to us mere mortals as “Sir” – conducting the Star Wars Symphony, all of whom are Lego characters, with his trusty Light Sabre.

The video is extremely well done, and you can see it straight after the jump. Enjoy.

DHTML Lemmings

Andrew Tingle — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 18:00:02 +0000

It’s been a while since we have featured a posting in the Time to Chill category and, to make up for this, what could be better than sitting back and feeling all nostalgic as you play the Lemmings – an often extremely frustrating computer game I think most of us who are old enough to remember probably recall with great fondness.

Scripted entirely in DHTML this free online version is an extremely faithful portrayal of the original 80’s game – none of that 3D Lemmings nonsense – that had many of us pulling our hair out whilst those little, green-haired lemmings seemed utterly intent on committing suicide all over the screen.

You can travel back in time and try once again in vain to save those moronic creatures by equipping them with umbrellas, dynamite and pickaxes – to name but a few – by clicking here.

Time to Chill – Mouse Maze

Andrew Tingle — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 12:17:59 +0000

The second Time to Chill site recommendation is a maze game that is as addictive as it is frustrating, but it still serves to give you that little break from whatever you really ought to be doing.

Initially the puzzle is so easy that you just know that its going to get almost impossible is just a few rounds, and in that respect Pointer doesn’t disappoint. In fact, by level eight things start getting a little crazy. But it’s harmless run with a distinctly retro flavour.

Time to Chill – Chocks Away Chaps

Andrew Tingle — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 19:53:51 +0000

This site is a fine inaugural entry in my new “Time to Chill” section; a section dedicated to bringing you my favourite sites to promote relaxation and well being (or, to put it in a rather less pompous fashion – how to waste time when you’re feeling a little bored but can’t actually be bothered to do anything section – though that title’s not quite as catchy).

Goggles cites itself as being a flight simulator based on Google Maps and, whilst it’s about as much of a simulator in the true sense of the word as I am funny, it’s a brilliant idea and no doubt will give all young children and lethargic adults whole minutes of sheer, harmless fun.
