Care to take a look at what fills in the snippets of time between frantic coding sessions? The following list is by no means exhaustive, but it’ll get you started.

Outside of Quake deathmatches, Minecraft is the preferred pastime of the procrastinating codemonkey. There’s even a server over there at mc.picraft.com that they frequent.

Raspberry Pi is an organization designing and producing $25 open source miniature computers. Forget about a flashdrive, now you can take your desktop with you in your pocket. A must for any codemonkey.

XKCD is the self proclaimed “webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language”. It’s a good example of the way codemonkeys think.

The HyperSnail project is a human resources management system for a subset of Wycliffe. The project is led by the head codemonkey.

The reason the code monkeys keep coding is to fund their addiction to technology. ThinkGeek and ThisIsWhyI’mBroke are just two examples of what they spend their hard earned dollars on.
