If you need a moment off, here are some entertaining distractions -- mostly games created in Flash. Presented here in no particular order. Enjoy!

Mouse 1.0 Ridiculously fun and simple game based on guiding your mouse pointer through a maze.
Samarost 1 and 2 One of the most imaginative, engaging, and visually appealing flash pieces I have ever seen. A work of art, and fun too. Expect to spend some time, both solving the puzzles and admiring the artwork. The sequel (Samorost 2) is here
Fly Guy Very imaginative flash piece. Guide the Fly Guy through the sky and beyond; see what you encounter . . .
Chaos Theory Very addicting, sort of missile-commandish game. Click once to start an explosion among the moving dots, and time it so the chain reaction goes on as long as possible. Don't let the non-English interface intimidate you, the game is extremely simple to play.
Letters Fun and (I guess) educational. Type type letters as they move across the screen; don't let any reach the far side of the screen!
Asteroids A flash implementation of the grand-daddy of games.
TwinSpin A fun little game -- click the mouse to anchor one side of spinning, um, thing, and thereby navigate around the playfield. Just try it out, it's a fun distraction.
Penguin batting practice No penguins were hurt in the creation of this game.
Modern Living/Neurotica series Not a game, but a series of lightly interactive animations on the spectrum of imaginative to bizarre. Very creative and definitely worth a look.
Radiohead Creep animated video Non-interactive. Beautifully rendered and emotive video set to Radiohead's Creep. Watch through to the end.
