I spent a lot of time and a lot of money on that game!

As a child, I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by creative people who always had a challenge at hand. Naturally, I didn’t have hand held video games (well there were those led football games dweet dweet dweet), iPods, and other such fancy things to keep us occupied. So, when we found ourselves with a long wait, like at a restaurant, I would be handed 65 cents and challenged to balance a nickel upon a quarter then a dime on the nickel and finally a second quarter upon the dime. This challenge still amuses me today and I find it both relaxing and rewarding to succeed with the balancing act.
2commentsHas anyone won anything on Blingo lately? April 13, 2007 1:54 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Contest, Cool Sites, Daily Life, Games/Puzzles, Of Interest , 1 comment so farOur household use to average a Blingo movie ticket or iTunes gift card at least once a month. We haven’t won anything for about 3 or 4 months now. Did PCH destroy Blingo (which now claims to have $1000 Thursdays) or has it just become that popular that the odds of winning dramatically reduced?
On a side note, you can sure tell it is a Friday afternoon in the blogosphere. Comments on No Silence are dwindling down. Of course, it looks like Michael might have two simultaneous threads running. I suppose all that needs to be said has been said but I don’t believe that.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Games/Puzzles, Of Interest , add a commentThis game (click the British flag for English) has two balls and two paddles. As you move your mouse left and right the short paddle moves horizontally while the long paddle rocks left to right. The goal is to keep the ball on the long paddle from rolling off while not letting the bouncing ball past the small paddle. Very challenging!
