Music Catch is an interesting game that takes the music visualization concept and lets you play with the results.
Different colored shapes are worth different amounts of points, and the goal is to catch as many yellow shapes as possible without touching the red shapes as they appear in time with the music (the purple shapes count as bonuses if you can catch those as well).
It’s definitely not a complicated game, but the music makes it almost like a meditation, so it’s a nice time waster if you’re looking for a few minutes of break. (Plus it kind of makes you feel like you’re getting to play around in the Bellagio lake!)

…Vimeo Toys are fun to play with?
Vimeo Toys are “interactive visualizations of what’s happening right now” on Vimeo.
Though Vimeo encourages anyone to make a toy and submit it for approval, they’ve seeded the site with the first two: VimeoLand and Pulse.
Of the two, VimeoLand is definitely my favorite, as I really haven’t seen anything else like it before. VimeoLand is an interactive landscape with people walking around and a plane flying overhead, and each person represents an action by one of the Vimeo users. Clicking on a person brings up a like, a comment, an upload or a signup by a Vimeo user, and clicking on the plane drops a random video from the plane’s cargo.
While it’s not particularly useful, it definitely shows off the potential of Vimeo Toys, and makes me eager to see what’s coming out next.
