I’m no mathemagician, and Keno-Man is certainly indicating we should all be impressed… but I’m just not sure about these odds. Best leave the gambling to the gamblers, I s’pose.
Holy b-jezus! I found a whole treasure-chest of stuff I did in pre-2006 then let rot in the dank dungeons of my G: drive. Today’s resurrection: Corporate Best Friends Forever: a “memory” type game with a twist. All the cards are face up – you simply have to match the pairs. The twist? There are […]

Of course, today’s nerds are revered and adored (though our pompous […]
Recently there has been a lot of attention given to the list of the 500 worst passwords. “Worst” meaning “most frequently used” and therefore easy to guess.
