Today is that day in the middle of January where you may find yourself looking out the window and thinking "jeez, what's up with the cold and wet weather". Well, I'm inclined to agree; in a season where everyone is simply looking forward to warmer days, looking out to see fog and misery does not make for a good start on the day.

Fortunately though, we are here with our weekly list of cool links that we hope will provide both entertainment and distraction from the otherwise normal Friday?. So what could possibly brighten up your day and entertain you for a few? Well, extremely talented musicians always seem to put a smile on this writer's face, so why not try to one up that. Enter an article about musical child prodigies:

Onto something different; over the years, most of you have for sure attempted puzzles such as cross words and Sudoku. Well, Hitori Interactive have come up with a different challenging puzzle. Quite entertaining I'd say, especially when trying to balance a Friday morning tired head with completing difficult numerical and visual challenges such as this:
