Work is too important in our culture. For too long we have worshiped workaholism and put way too much emphasis on work ethic. So to help people break free of the bonds of overexertion I’ve instituted two new weekly features into the blog as simple online time-wasters. Every Monday, I will post a video, and every Friday a game. Something to keep you less productive at work or home, you know, just so you don’t work so hard. It’s for your own good.

Each Friday I will leave us with an easy online game to waste a few minutes with. I would love to see people play for 10 minutes or so and then post in the comments what level or score they were able to get. This week’s game is called “bloons”, which I guess is the cutesy monkey way to say “baloons”. Easy stuff here that gets pretty interesting as you go through the levels. Just use the darts to help the monkey pop all the “bloons”. Why a monkey? Because everything is funnier when monkeys are involved, don’t you know (sigh). I managed to get to level 15 in the first few minutes of playing.

Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
