Weekend Fix: [Sort Of] Educational games

Hey folks,

So, it's a long weekend. Hopefully you all have fun, outdoor plans. I, for one, will be selling my book at A Taste of Colorado all weekend. Here's to hoping it goes well!

I thought I'd introduce a couple of fun computer games that get your mind thinking too.

What do you get when you combine a little cartoon character with a scarf riding a sled, and physics? You get line rider. Line rider uses lines with different speeds to make the sled rider go down the track. Can you make him do a loop? Can you make him go off a jump and land safely? Try it out! It's a personal favorite.

The other game is called Technitone. It's featured on a new Google Chrome commercial. You have to download Google Chrome, but it's really easy to download and install. Once you have Chrome, you can try playing Technitone, a game in which you can make music with different instruments....very addicting!

Enjoy and have a great weekend,

Mr. C
