My roommate posted this gem on his blog the other day: Grid Game.  Well, after having three days of life consumed by finding the optimal strategy, I went to the root site and discovered this game: Click Drag Type.  There are ten mini-games, and no instructions whatsoever.  There goes another three days of my life…

E-mail me or leave a comment.

July 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Last night was the MLB All-Star Game, which the AL won 3-4 after 15 innings of battle.

So I went to track some packages today, and I was greeted on www.ups.com with a language-selection splash page.  And lo and behold, what do I see?  Is that Philadelphia City Hall in the background?  For all the world to see?  I’m guessing yes.  I think that the street sign is also a giveaway since [...]
