This one's for geology geeks and gelatin fans only: Wiglet is a great little desktop widget for Yahoo! Widget Engine. It looks like a green Jell-o mold, and when USGS reports an earthquake it will jiggle with a velocity corresponding to the magnitude of the earthquake. When Wiglet reports an earthquake, you can click on it to see a map of the affected area. How cool is that? Oh, and it's free.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I downloaded that widget and I have to say that it's pretty cool. I knew that we have earthquakes ever single day, but I didn't realize that the occurrences were quite this frequent. Thanks for the tip!

The widget is pretty cool, but since I live in LA-land I'm thinking a real Jell-o mold that sits on my desk would be cooler. Ideally it would sit on a battery-powered night light-type plate. That way when we have a real shake I'll have something to distract me from everyone screaming their heads off when the power goes down.
