Time again for Multi-link Monday, our week-starting quintet of work-distracting fun.
• On NBC’s “Heroes,” artist Isaac Mendez produces paintings that foresee the future. The real work is painted by artist Tim Sale, and starting today, you can bid on it online. Proceeds benefit the Epilepsy Foundation – Greg Grundberg, who plays cop Matt Parkman on the show, organizing the benefit in honor of his young son, who has pediatric epilepsy.
• Kusama’s World of Dots is one of those goofy time-wasters that can become addictive. You kind of have to figure it out for yourself, but a few tips: Use the arrows on the sides of “rebel dot” to pick different style dots, and when you’re bored with this room, use the arrows at the foot of the door or the TV to go outside and place dots there. Also, try putting a dot in the fish bowl. (Via Metafilter.)
• Speaking of dots, here’s another dot-focused game. In this one, you place a dot by clicking on an empty space, and it fills in blank spaces that it touches. It's easy to fill in the spaces at first, but it gets progressively harder.
• USA Today offers a celebrity version of the NCAA tournament brackets. Instead of Midwest, East, West and South regions, they've divided up the celebs by Brains, Brawn, Beauty and Beast. I'm rooting for Lisa Simpson.
• Reader-submitted link. Says Kelly from Texas: “Here is another fun time-waster I found for those who think they are singers. I think this is where a lot of ‘American Idol’ contestants get their start.”
