Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
With some tarp, a few feet of duct tape, clear plastic material from grandma, fiberglass shock chorded poles, and two feet of plastic tubing, you can build your very own hand held skating and snowboarding sail that folds up when you’re done using it for easy transportation.
Self propulsion is now officially out of style.
What’s the easiest way for Bill Gates and Steve Jobs to decide once and for all whose computer is superior.
Simple: Lightsaber battle to the death.
Just pick a side, swing your saber, and watch as the two fling fanboyisms back and forth to work down the other’s health meter.
Just make sure you don’t blue screen, because Ctrl+Alt+Del’ing is a bitch.

Defender Of The Favicon is definitely the smallest game ever featured on DYH.
Designed as a test to see how far you can push the concept of a generated favicon, the idea was to pack a retro shooter into 16×16 pixels using JavaScript, Canvas and Data: URIs
From start to finish, the game took just three nights to complete.
To get everything working: Each frame is generated on the fly in JavaScript into a 16×16 canvas element, then converted to a 32bits PNG images and used in place of the Favicon.
You know what they say about life and lemons…
This weekend, as the temperatures continue to rise, and you’re suddenly well aware of the fact that it is summer outside after all, grab a glass, add some lemons, pour on some sugar, finish it off with a splash of water, and make your own lemonade.
You don’t need to stick to the classics though, as Real Simple has put together some fantastic recipes for remade lemonades.
Featuring the Ginger Zinger, Tropical and Farmers’ Lemonades, and the Lemon-Mint Cooler, it’s the perfect compliment to that day of well-deserved relaxation that you’ve been planning for weeks now.
Fireworks might be outlawed in most fire-prone places, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun this Fourth of July weekend by shooting things into the sky.
Make has put together a fantastic set of instructions for creating your very own Soda Bottle Rocket, and before you know it, you’ll be shooting rockets into the night sky like the big boys.

Square Meal is another fantastic game from Nitrome that puts you in charge of a troll as you clear each level of enemies to escape the dungeon!!
To defeat enemies, you must eat them, but before you can eat them, you need to stun them by hitting them with blocks that you spit at them.
As is to be expected, not all blocks behave the same, and some enemies will charge or even block your blocks, and the dungeons are often booby-trapped or “slippy”, so you need to watch your step.
Are you ready for a square meal?
Skywire 2 is an interesting pixel art style game that puts you in charge of a gondola/cable car full of people that you must assist through a world of enemies to deliver the passengers to the end goal without letting too many fall out.
It’s actually pretty difficult considering the face that you only need two buttons to control the cable car, and the graphics are fantastic in their simplicity, so give it a go and see what you think.

This weekend, grab your camera (or your friend’s camera), set the timer, and toss it in the air for a new style of photography called Camera Tossing.
The results are often a beautiful art piece that is less about documenting a moment, and more about creating an emotional picture that is filled with color and motion.
Check out COLOURlover’s article on Camera Tossing for a brief history of the technique, and some fantastic examples that should give you more than enough inspiration to get going.

Sling Ice is a fantastic Flash game that puts you in charge of a Sling or a Slingette as you chase after the Oozeville power source elements that were taken by evil monsters.
To play, just stretch your blob, aim, and release. The goal is to move from one grab peg to the next, and as you touch each peg, it turns green. After all of the grab pags have been turned green, a portal will open up and you can grab that to move to the next level.
I profiled the original Sling on DYH a long while back, and Sling Ice is the third in the series, so they’ve definitely perfected things by now, and it shows, with fantastic gameplay, a good story line, and smooth graphics.
Get ready to sling!
