I know, I talk about the moon a lot, but it’s cool and bright and… has its own Art Deco-esque digital card game?
Google’s Rise of the Half Moon
Sure, that’s fun, why not? 🙂

Not Into Wordle? You Might Prefer This

My father is not into Wordle. I’ll admit that I was a little surprised to learn that the man who helped teach me to read, let us bring books to the dinner table (and anywhere else), and encouraged my every literary step looked at Wordle and said, “Meh, I’m just not that into you.”
But hey, that’s cool. To each their own, right? And today I found something that music lovers like him might prefer.
Meet Heardle – That daily musical intros game.
The answer library appears to draw mostly/exclusively from popular music so it may not be my father’s thing (a classical version would be perfect), but it’s fun to see people pushing the original idea out into other, equally creative spaces.
Speaking of spaces, geography nerds can also check out Worldle. Guess the country from a map outline and clues that hint at distance and direction.
Creative and fun!

Goodbye to All That

Someone referred to 2020 as “the year with 13 months” and I thought that all too on point. Thankfully, the future is starting to look brighter. As a way to say (hopefully, finally) goodbye to our very own annus horribilus, I thought you might enjoy a little game to (literally, figuratively) put it all behind you.
Plus, it’s Saturday, and it’s nice to take time for a little fun if you can.
The 2020 Game is an online side-scroller, where you control a character using computer arrow keys, running and jumping through such fun 2020 events as Australian bush fires, the stock market crash, U.S. elections and of course, Covid-19.
And hopefully that’s the last I have to say about 2020. Goodbye, and good riddance!
Orbital Derby

Mwahaha, now this is fun:) SuperPlanetCrash is a little online game by Stefano Meschiari that lets you build your own solar system and learn something about orbital physics along the way. The goal is to keep your planets orbiting for 500 years. Click to add planets, ice giants, brown dwarfs and stars, then watch as gravity undermines your best intentions! Use the game to simulate that system you sketched out for your epic sci-fi space opera. Ponder the effects of gravity and motion while earning points for the longevity of your system.
And if you just want to add Super-Earths until the whole crazy house of cards comes crashing down? Go for it:)
Roswell’s 66th Anniversary, or, “Wait, We Landed Where?”

I know, I should be working (and I have been and I will be) but! Google has a fun little Doodle in honor of the 66th anniversary of the Roswell incident, and it’s too much fun not to mention.
Need a break? Play the game and take a moment to feel for the little lost alien. Poor thing! Now back to work:)
