A taste of Canada

While we were on the walk near Munich, there happened to be a couple of Canada Geese strolling around. I thought this was kind of fun and it reminded me of home. How nice the Canada goose looks as it walks around the grass. As I recall, they are much less nice when they are living in a bush in your office parking lot, making a big nest and then chasing away anyone who walks to close, honking and hissing wildly. Ahh the majestic goose.

Another thing that has caught my attention now is a casual game called "Peggle" It is from Popcap Games and you can get the demo there or from a few other online places like Steam. Anyway, Peggle is sort of like a hybrid of Pachinko, Arkanoid, Breakout kind of games. You drop balls on a screen and hit pegs. You have to hit all the orange pegs to clear the level.

You have a limited number of balls to do this, and of course there are special combos and things to do for more points and to win more balls. You may be thinking "is that all?" which is what I thought at first, but give it a try, you will find it eats up a bunch more time than planned.

A well made, fun game to play for 5 min or much more when you have nothing else on the go.
