Tuesday Timewaster: Know Your States

I spent most of this morning posting info about an OU alumni event I'm organizing to the walls of a bunch of people I know on Facebook. I should be finishing a manuscript assessment, or finishing proofing an online edition of a social studies unit, or __  or __ or ___  <--- fill in the blanks with any of the sundry tasks on my never-ending to-do list, but instead I'm fiddling around on Know Your States.





Hmm. Maybe geeking around and playing games is why nothing ever gets crossed off of my to-do list? Perhaps I should block certain sites from my work computer? I could  usher in a new era of productivity and inspire everyone else in the office to meet our project deadlines!

Naaaaaahh!

  2. Yeah ... I think I found it a while back via kottke, but I couldn't play it on my iPad, so I saved the URL in my e-mail drafts folder, and then I came across it this morning when I was grasping at straws to avoid doing actual work.

    Have you gotten a perfect score yet?
