This was posted on Metafilter today and immediately, Mike came to mind. I know there are several other Douglas Adams die-hards in my little circle, too... so hey, clicky-- Milliways: Infocom's Unreleased Sequel to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Lobster's adventures with Lingo! It's a good read.

Robert is even more infatuated with word games than I am. While I have wasted many (oh, so many) hours playing weboggle, he has been building his own games for years now.

The boys slept til 7:30 this morning, and I felt lucky for getting to sleep in. What's happening to me???

Super Scrabble has been played-- and I'm still doin' my victory dance. I beat mw, nata5 and xaminmo while also being climbed upon by a 2-year-old.

Just for the record, Josh played the word "boof" and insisted that it was 'real slang' -- though doubtful, we let it slide. I consulted the ever-useful Urban Dictionary and found 35 definitions! Let it never be said ( Read more... )
