I saw this on CNET the other day and just had to share it with you!
If you are looking for a way to kill some time why not play a game of Pong right inside your web browser? To play Window Pong you will need to have your ad-blocker turned off. Don’t worry, you can turn it back on when you are finished playing!
The game uses a set of pop up windows for the two paddles, ball, and the score. You use your mouse to control your paddle while the computer controls the opposing paddle. If you get tired of Pong then try out Snake , developed by the same programmers. I have yet to play Snake so I can not attest to the fun factor.

When will somebody put together a pop-up version of Super Mario Brothers? That is when I will be impressed!
What interesting web games do you like to play? Feel free to share them in the comments section of this post!

This post is inspired by something stupid I just did this morning; scraping ice off of my wife’s car before she left for work without gloves.
While it is by no means stupid to do something nice for your wife in the morning as she gets ready for work and your unemployed butt prepares to sit at home in the warm weather all morning, it is pretty dumb to go out in 24 degree weather and remove ice from a car without gloves. Why would somebody do such a thing? In fact as I type this post up my hand is still a little cold! It’s not as though I don’t own a pair of gloves (in fact I own two pairs) but I do recommend you take a moment today and check your gloves.
Do your gloves have holes? Are they worn out? Are they still comfortable (and warm)? If not you should probably make a quick trip to your store of choice and browse the gloves. After all, not everybody has hands that like the cold.

So sorry about missing a post yesterday folks. I had a pretty productive day cleaning the apartment and more specifically the kitchen and that is what has inspired me for today’s suggestion.
Before you start baking holiday cookies by the dozens or maybe your special bread recipe or perhaps a nice cake or pie, you may want to give your kitchen a good scrubbing! You may clean up after you cook something in the kitchen but when was the last time you cleared the counter of the spice rack, coffee machine, fruit bowl, cutting board and whatever else you may find in your kitchen in order to clean it? Odds are you may not do it enough. Right?
With the holidays comes the traditional cooking of delicious treats. Wouldn’t those treats be more tasty with the comfort of knowing they came from a spic and span kitchen? Eliminate the dirt and bacteria today! you will be glad you did.
