Those were fun! Here's some more of my old favorites...

Ball Droppings! Worth the small download. " Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line." You can get some really interesting rhythms going... http://www.balldroppings.com/

Weird Japanese flash game, Nanaca Crash: http://nanaca.narr.as/

The Ambition series (negotiation flash games by a psych student): http://zapdramatic.com/dramas.htm

I was going to post the amazing failblog but that's already gone up, so I will put up a few links, probably you know some. All my university friends appreciate read these:

http://www.metafilter.com --> the best site on the web, IMHO, which compiles the best of the web. Look at their AskMe site as well. In fact, you might want to search the questions and answers about doing PhDs, there are a few professors who are members of this community and they have a lot of interesting stuff to say.

http://www.xkcd.com --> one of the best cartoonists around. Although he can draw, he usually doesn't bother with anything more technical than a stickman.

http://www.phdcomics.com --> grad student life.

http://wondermark.com/312/ ---> Wondermark - strange Victorian comics. A little bit hit and miss, but makes me crack up. I've linked to my favourite one.

http://www.lackadaisycats.com/archive.php ---> A Prohibition era speakeasy. Run by cats. No, it isn't another LolCatz, it is a superb comic (It has amazing artwork, story and dialogue, it's just a part time pet project by a great artist.)
