Rock Paper Scissors: man against computer

Try playing rock paper scissors against the New York Times' web site.

Not that we don't all know and love Rock Paper Scissors but playing against a robot hand is too cool for words!

Fortune cookies

I read an article in the NY Times about fortune cookies. Seems some folks are uncomfortable when they don't get a cliched, pseudo-Confucian qwip.

I guess the new ones don't lend themselves to putting "...in bed" or "...dot com" at the end to elicit a half-hearted laugh from one's co-diners.

That's why I wrote my own fortune cookie widget. With it, you're guaranteed to get something atypical. OK, weird.
