Well I've made a decision to end the Wednesday articles on the website.  Lately it's been harder to come up with fresh, quality topics for articles and I've also been getting busier with other projects.  The games and challenges will continue weekly but the articles will now be on a lesser schedule.  I feel it's better to release quality articles when the inspiration comes rather than lesser quality more consistently.  It was a tough decision to make but sometimes those tough decisions need to be made.

This week we're separating.

Game:  There are 4 random words below.  Your aim is to pick which is the odd word out and explain why.  You may not pick the same word as the person before you.

• internet
• soccer
• giant
• bulb

For the last few months I have been trying to learn a particular trick on my unicycle.  I reckon I was about 80% there but just couldn't get that last little bit.  I kept persisting though, figuring I was quite close and more practice would get me there.  Then a friend saw me trying and suggested I move one of my feet up slightly.  I thought to myself, what difference could that make, but I tried it anyways.  Lo and behold, I got the trick within a few goes.  This has sparked me on an interesting train of thought.

This week we're observing.

Game:  There are 3 random words below.  Select one of them and come up with the most interesting or thought provoking observation you can about it.

• desk
• applause
• string
