Armadillo Run physics-based game
Armadillo Run physics-based game: "Mark Frauenfelder: I'm having a great time playing Armadillo Run. It's a physics-based game in which you have to build a Rube Goldberg style contraption to make it to the next level. The simulated physics is incredible.
For each challenge, you're given a budget to buy rope, cloth, metal bars, metal sheet, and other components. Then you have to assemble a structure and adjust the tension of the component so that it will successfully deliver a basketball to a circular blue portal. The challenges get harder as you progress. The game cost $20, but you can download a 10-level demo version for free. (It's for Windows only.) Link"

Easy Desk for extremely lazy people
Easy Desk for extremely lazy people: "Looks like our worst fears are turning out to be true - the advent of technology might have made our life easier, but we have become lazier in the process as well. This slow degeneration is further confirmed with the existence of furniture such as the Easy Desk Aluminum. Those who work from home and do not have a conference call to attend to that morning will definitely love this $58 contraption as there is no need for you to get out of bed at all, Flying Alarm Clock or not. All you need to do is wheel the Easy Desk Aluminum over, twist and bend it according to your most comfortable position, and start typing away. Doesn't look like it'll do your RSI any good though.
