ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

I hope to have a real post up today, it's been a busy week, as you know. But I had to share this game that absolutely crippled any chance of post-work productivity for me last night.

Fantastic Contraption - I could not get past level 16 last night.

NOTE: On levels that took longer to complete I did see some browser lag. At first I closed the browser and it thankfull remembered me - even when I switched from Chrome to IE - but then I clicked the "light graphics" button and that worked too.

Why did you post this?!?!  I was supposed to get something accomplished today.  So addictive!

I can't decide whether to thank you (for finding such a great game) or curse you (for finding one that is so fully addictive)

After playing that game and seeing the XKCD comic this morning, all I could think was "So true, so true."
