10 Most Offensive Board Games and Many Other Things

• Good list of the ten most offensive board games from io9.
• The best science fiction and fantasy of 2013. - a lot of things I haven't read, although MaddAdam is in my library pile on the counter and Ancillary Justice is in my iPad.
• 5 films the Dallas Observer thought were worth streaming on Netflix.  I saw 237 and enjoyed it.  I'll have to stream the rest when I'm done with my latest Bollywood film while cycling (Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola)
• Learn to Play 16 Easy Guitar Riffs from Music Radar - I have got to learn to play Supermassive Black Hole.  I'll be set if any exotic dancers want to suddenly dance in  my space.
• A very stately and organized flash mob by the USAF at the National Air and Space Museum courtesy of Larry (the father in law Larry, not the other one).  Not exactly flash mobby when it involves violins, cellos, and everyone in dress uniform.  But still neat.
• Ten Things You Didn't Know About Voodoo from Listverse - primarily for Eryn who's very interested in Voodoo, although she's still not allowed to watch Coven.
• The Scientific Seven Minute Workout - it's become my laptop wallpaper.  I intend to make it part of my new year's resolutions.
• How To Motivate Yourself at Any Time - I do almost all of these.  I'm naturally a fairly non-motivated person.  But I tend to just do things because I know there's a domino effect to getting more done and, in the end, I'll expend less energy by not worrying about something more than once.

Three Idiots

Pooteewheet and I watched Three Idiots last night, an enjoyable Bollywood movie about three engineers and the students, teachers, and friends, they interact with, while trying to find a place in the world that isn't dictated to them by others and allows them to merge their passions with their careers. I recommend it, particularly if it ever makes it to Netflix streaming.

It was interesting to learn from Wikipedia: "The film also uses real inventions by little known people in India's backyards. The brains behind the innovations were Remya Jose, a student from Kerala, who created the exercise-bicycle/washing-machine, Mohammad Idris, a barber from Meerut district in Uttar Pradesh, who invented a bicycle-powered horse clipper, and Jahangir Painter, a painter from Maharashtra, who made the scooter-powered flour mill."
