Type Racer Is Challenging and Fun!

Well, I finally figured out how to post a screen shot using Paint and Photobucket. I wanted to show you how cool this little typing site is. You can race against other people and it tells you your words per minute, accuracy percentage and your place in the race. Of course, I chose to show the screen shot of one where I came in first but that doesn't happen as often as I'd like, so now I have a challenge. The key is to not make any mistakes because it won't let you go on until you backspace and correct it. It only gives a short paragraph to type so if you goof up, you really don't have enough time to make up for it.

A Very Fun Game Site: Pogo.com

I like the pogo.com game site. It has such a wide variety of free games with chat boxes so I can chit chat with other players or learn new games by playing against robots. Games include card games (both solitaire and partner games), strategy games, sports games, puzzle games, silly games, and board games.

Scrabble was recently added which I especially enjoy because I used to play this often with my mom. Her goal would be to score 300 or she felt she hadn't played well. I seldom beat her but when I play on pogo, I try to make 300 and pretend I'm playing my mom. She would have really liked this game site--too bad she didn't have a computer before she died.

There's also a very slim chance of winning some money by turning in the tokens you win in exchange for tickets that they draw from to give away money (I haven't won anything yet). There are also jackpots on most of the games up to $4,999that you get jackpot spins for if you reach a certain score on the games. Anyone who enjoys games should definitely check this out.

Since I've started blogging though, I've been spending more time on that and promoting my blogs so I hardly get a chance to play anymore. Link Referral takes me about an hour a day and then dropping my entrecards, visiting and commenting on others' blogs takes me about 4-5 hours a day. I also spend about an hour a day on email.

I really miss playing on pogo lately so will have to make a special time for it in my weekly schedule somewhere. I think I'm going to actually set aside Sunday to enjoy pogo and take a little break from blogging.

In reading others blogs I came across this post about My Playstation at Winters Tale which is what inspired me to write this post.
