This is a fun up-front challenge we did tonight featuring a bowl full of whip cream with gummy bears mixed in… winner is the one who gets the most gummies out in the allotted time — no hands allowed!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a game. I thought this one deserved notice after Deanna tweeted about me while playing…

This was my response…

So, if that piece of our conversation has you interested, check out Puzzle Farter below…

Piggie Power

Shawn Michael — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 23:10:12 +0000

As Marko stated when he shared this link on his blog, “Yes, I’m a middle school youth worker.” (grin) In this game, you must “power” your pig with pig-farts to get him across the screen. Anyone up for a try?

The Reality Game

Shawn Michael — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:41:15 +0000

This, from the generation who does not know life without Internet connectivity and social web 2.0 sites…

I initially saw this on Jonathan’s blog from The Source for Youth Ministry, and now, I’ve seen it several places since. Jonathan posted a related blog on a series of fascinating photos by photographer Evan Baden; the pics feature today’s young people “seemingly mesmerized by the glow of their electronic devices.”

Everyday Luchador

Shawn Michael — Thu, 22 May 2008 20:44:25 +0000

What’s a “luchador”? Here’s a definition off of Wikipedia…

Lucha libre (Spanish for “free fight”) is a term used in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking areas to refer to a certain form of professional wrestling involving varied techniques and moves. Outside of these areas, the term is synonymous with the professional wrestling performed in Mexico and other Latin American countries.

Mexican wrestling is characterized by rapid sequences of holds and moves, as well as spectacular high-flying moves, many of which have been adopted in the United States, and colorful masks. Lucha libre performers are known as luchadores (singular luchador).

Now, watch what happens when this everyday luchador’s roomie — whose name happens to be “Jesus” — comes back after break and wakes up luchador from his nap time…

Check out this mash-up where you can “drive” a little car around your neighborhood (or any other) on Google maps. All you do is select your location, click on the map, and then use your arrow keys to get around. It’s called “googleDrive”.

BuzzDash: The Game

Shawn Michael — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 03:10:47 +0000

I’ve posted my opinion a few times on the BuzzDash site…

BuzzDash is a site for gauging popular opinion on a wide range of topics – from sports, movies and politics to relationships and spirituality. Built upon individual polling modules called buzzbites^TM, BuzzDash provides a real-time forum where people can solicit, measure and share opinions on nearly any issue.

I ran across BuzzDash: The Game today. It’s a fun, Family Feud, guess-what-the-majority-vote-is type of game. Give it a try and see how you do. I just scored a 10 out of 15.
