Personal

I had thought of spending most of the weekend writing up some Flex examples for a chapter of a book I'm working on. But then came Boom Blox. I gave the game to my daughter as a present for doing a huge mega-clean on her room. Unfortunately I didn't realize how addictive the game is. It combines the best thing about Jenga, which is watching the thing collapse, and explosions, which are always fun.
