Tech games and sports games

Last night I had a tragicomic dream about accidentally sending the warranty in for our TV in the envelope for my mum's laptop & vice versa. Needless to say that has not happened, though they are from the same manufacturer.

The telvision is not huge by Australian standards (81 cm) but feels more than sufficient for our household. Its purchase and numerous features have given me the delightful sensation that sport, entertainment & technology are worlds of interesting statistics. For one thing, the current holder of the world record for Fastest Serve is Andy Roddick, and Trinidad & Tobago qualified for the World Cup despite having a population of around 1 million people (slightly fewer than Sydney). There is nothing quite like being able to look things up on the internet at the same time as watching the box.

For kids of all ages!

Well here's a way to make a rainy day, or even a sunny one, a total delight.

Check out Science Toys to see what fantastic machines, experiments or just plain old fun can be created from household objects. This really is a site as much for the young at heart as it is for the young.
