TTMMHTM: connections, learning is fun, machinarium and guitar hero sans guitar

Things that made me happy this morning:

• A very cool infographic showing the average internet speed and prices around the world – let’s all move to Japan.
• The Fun Theory is a competition by Volkswagen to make every day things more fun to use. I talked earlier about the Piano stairs, now they also have a bin that makes a sound when you put things inside it and turned a bottle bank into an arcade machine.
• Learn something every day has interesting and quirky facts displayed in a lovely manner.
  Video time – the last supper recreated with Rubik’s cubes.
• Safe your logo is a campaign to ask companies that have animals as their logos to donate some money to preserve these species.
• After the deadline is a tool to check your texts for spelling errors and bad grammar. You can see a demo in action and download the open source code.
• A pretty cool solution to play guitar hero without a guitar by recognising the muscle movements.
• Interesting graphic history of newspaper circulation.
• Performance fans love to make their PNGs smaller. here’s a C# tutorial how to do that.
• Machinarium is a game that kept me busy the last few evenings and here are the artist sketches for the amazing design.
• Tok Pisin is an online translation tool from English to Pidgin English.
• I want a Lego Kitchen, I just wonder how to clean it?
• Witness the everyday life of darth vader.
• A handy flowchart how to pick your religion.
