Test matching your answers to the crowd-sourced profiles of fictional characters.

This is a great list. There are plenty of weather numbers. There is even Dial a Buoy. Toronto Public Library has Dial-a-Story. What else is out there? This is not for pranking people.

A fun tenori-on sort of musical instrument.

"Make your own Glitter Graphics."

A running and jumping game with one button that I can't stop playing.

A greeter at the airport who welcomes and well-wishes operatically, he says to fantastic results. Pretty cool, but your suspicions will be confirmed at the end of the video. Very nice.

"experiments with hand lettering...a ongoing series based on spam subject lines in my mailbox" Excellent.

Good collection of screensavers, if you're into that sort of thing. I'm partial to Fliqlo, a big stylish flip-clock.
