What is this "Fun Stuff" non-sense?

We've got a few random, miscellaneous things living on our Fun Stuff page. Check out what we've been up to recently around the office.

Web Favourites


Last.fm - An awesome community driven music web site, an example of what some great programming can do. Indeed, check out what Brett is listening to in "The Boy's Room".

SubWhy - Our beloved Siteflex demo site... sometimes takes on a life of it's own.

Digg.com - What better way to distract your day than something that is constantly updated by users all around the world?

YouTube.com - Well... maybe the better way is to visit YouTube and get lost in some sort of crazy "Related Videos" loop. Check out our first great YouTube venture - The Hobbs Trap.

Threadless.com - We always get a little excited in the office when its that time of season for the Threadless sale newsletter!

Blue's News - No self-respecting programmer should go a week without sitting down and having a blast of at least one game. Blue's News has got all the latest from the gaming world - along with plenty of solid random stuff to distract from day to day.

AllRecipes.com - May as well take advantage of the fantastic kitchen at the office with some great recipes! It's our duty...

Beatport.com - Not only is this website a great example of a purely flash based website, but also a one stop shop for any DJ or music enthusiast. Stocking almost every genre and sub-genre of "dance" music, Beatport will keep anyone busy. Researching, purchasing, discovering and promoting are some of the functions that Ricky enjoys from Beatport.
