Need to chill a bit? How about driving - in your browser

[thewayne]

Slow Roads is a new browser, well, I hesitate to call it a game, but I'll go ahead and use that tag, and also the word experience. They've done a masterful job of leveraging a JavaScript library to randomly generate landscape and a road for you to drive on, all by yourself.

Just drive.

No other cars to avoid or crash in to. No pedestrians to mow down. No sheep. No score and no objectives. You can run into the ocean, though, and your speed is displayed, so you can have some bragging rights.

Developed by some programmers up in Scotland, it runs in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. Just click on the web site below, and use the WASD keys to move around. You can also use your mouse if that's more your speed.

Sounds like the kind of thing that someone would be very grateful for, if they just want to burn some time for a while doing nothing. Maybe it can become something on the Desert Bus tour, where the point is to see whether the marathon will end before the browser crashes or not.
