Rainy Day Diversions

A windy, rainy (near sleet at times) kind of day. No better time to attach oneself to the computer than today.

Here's something to help while away the hours, a couple of on line games of an Olympic theme to get you all geared up for Turin in a couple of weeks.

As previously reported on Podunk, the Canadian Olympic Association has a wonderful little curling game on their Olympic website. Start sending those rocks to the button.

Over at NBC there are three sports you can brush up your skills on, you can take to the Bobsleigh run, do a little snowboarding or feel the G force of slalom skiing. These take a little bit of time to load up, but once you have them added you can compete for prizes (I think, didn't actually read the fine print, so perhaps the prizes are limited to our friends below the 49th and in that little patch of land known as Alaska). Even if you don't compete for the bling, bling, it's still a bit of a hoot to send your sled flying down the track. Just stay away from the walls is all the advice I have to offer.

All of the games listed can be found on the right hand side of the blog, under Podunkian diversions. As I discover more things to test out I'll add them there. Stay dry and enjoy!
