POWIP Piece of Work In Progress

Dan, take it easy

To help Dan chill for a while, here is a couple low-key timewasters.

First up, test your vocabulary with freerice.com. Supposedly there's a donation made to combat world hunger as you play this, but the real drive is to learn esoteric words like "blenny", "catoptric", "rabato", and "aperient".

Second, the pit from which no person returns: TV Tropes. This is what the internet was invented for. You usually end up here because someone is claiming that your fave webcomic is using the old trope of running gags way too often, and then 4 hours later you're digging into Doctor Who episodes and MST3K quips.

A mesmerizing game: Flow. Though I'm not sure this is a good idea for someone with low blood pressure.

Anybody else got suggestions?

Meep

Meep is a member of the Irish Catholic mafia, having a suspiciously high number of green-eyed, red-haired friends. While she doesn’t have red hair herself [except when she goes into the sun (rare for any vampire)], she does have green eyes. She’s a raving Papist and is a life actuary on the side [i.e., she counts dead people]. An amateur pain-in-the-ass [willing to go pro!], she likes covering retirement, mortality, math, and education issues.
