And yet another week has passed and it’s time to give you some fun links geared to lower your workplace productivity. Feel free to send a link to this list to your friends and family; hopefully they’ll slack off too.

Nothing more fun than lasers; well, okay, maybe there is, but you’ll enjoy this game anyhow. You have to solve several puzzles by utilizing lasers and tools such as mirrors, refractors, splitters, and double mirrors to affect the laser’s path to turn on lightbulbs. Challenging!

Here’s a website that is interesting. Check out all the Polish movie posters of some very popular movies like “Apocalypse Now”, “Raging Bull”, and “The Fly”. There’s some great artwork here, some better I dare say of North American movie posters.

Now this is one interesting website, a virtual quilt you can zoom in… and zoom in… and keep zooming as the quilt artwork changes. And what artwork it is – very surreal as you move into the quilt.

And in the fine tradition of the posting a video on “Websites to Waste Your Week”, here’s a fascinating look into why the film director Stanley Kubrick had the computer Hal sing “Daisy” as it was being shutdown:
