Fun and Games


In my capacity as a web guy, I spent many hours today “researching” time killers for people trapped in cubicles all day. There are two games that I wanted to pass on.

One called Smack the Penguin was sent to me by my pal Jim Onderko of North Ridgeville. Unbeknownst to his boss, Jim is an aficionado of various web time killers and some of the best forwarded e-mails ever.

His record for Smack the penguin was 328 feet. Have a go and let us know how you do.

The other game I wanted to show you is Office Hoops. This game is on the Turner Broadcasting website and it’s a lot harder than the game we play in our office. They have cross winds of varying speeds that add a wicked hook to your paper ball.

I had a fairly lousy 3 baskets on my first try. Hopefully, things will pickup as I spend the next few workdays perfecting the drift.

Check back in and brag about your scores, or pass on a few hot time killer games of your own.

Is 7 good on your first try? I played while typing an email at the same time! I love work!

Hi Bruce,

This is weird because not only do we share the same name, we share (essentially) the same profession!

Best wishes from your Canadian namesake,
