It's Mr. Computer!
Here are some fun little websites I found on the internet.
http://www.eyezmaze.com/
A website with some clever games from Japan, translated into English. The big highlight of this site is the Grow series.
In Grow, you start off with a blank shape, and you are given several different objects. You take each object one at a time and place it on the shape. The objects interact with each other, growing over time, and creating special events that help advance your score. If you can put the objects on the shape in the correct order, you win the game.
Another interesting game is Vanilla. The game consists of a very tall playfield. You start with a pot at the bottom of the screen, which you click on until a little tree sprouts up. During the game, your objective is to grow a tower by clicking each tree going up until you click the one at the top, and then you click on the pot at the bottom, causing the topmost tree to grow or sprout a new tree. However, each time you click a tree, it will bend where you click, so if you don't click the tree in the center, the tower will become lopsided, and if the tower leans over too much, you lose, so be warned!

This site is home to a Flash lab, with some interesting applets, some being visual effects, some being physics/math related, and others being games you can play. There used to be a whole deal of older lab applets, but they somehow got temporarily lost.
http://www.sodaplay.com/
This is a site powered by Java that features the Soda Constructor applet. Soda Constructor lets you build and animate all kinds of spring-physics models. You can make walkers, amoebas, bipeds, caterpillars, dancing starfish, and lots of other interesting objects. Also on the site is the Soda Racer applet, which allows you to take many Soda Constructor models and pit them against each other to see which can reach the end first.
More coming soon...
