Playdeb Brings Up-to-Date Games into Ubuntu

Linux enthusiasts never stop hearing about how the open-source operating system lacks support for popular games. That’s often true, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t good games to be found. Playdeb, a custom repository for Ubuntu systems, makes it easy to find and install up-to-date games, some with graphics rivaling those of commercial fare. If you don’t want to add Playdeb to your sources, you can click to install individual game at the site’s games list using the AptURL tool. That list doesn’t (at the moment) include all the games, but you can see the full list in Synaptic Package Manager by choosing the Getdeb.net categories. Playdeb [via Tombuntu]

DIY Enter Key Doorbell

DIY weblog Make points out a very cool design idea: the Enter key doorbell. It’s a no-brainer DIY project; a little glue and and old keyboard ought to do it. This simple DIY also has an unusually high geek quotient, but it’s oh-so-fun.

The Perfect Sunday Morning Bloody Mary

The problem with Saturday night is Sunday morning. Yes, I’m talking about the hangover. I’m talking about fuzz in your mouth and ringing in your ears. I’m talking about that “did I really say that?” feeling and that “OMFG, I did” reaction. The solution to Sunday morning (or at least those Sunday mornings that start like this) is the perfect Bloody Mary. Photo by cote.
