Many people have written in asking about the “flaming piece of poo” that we’ve used in our iconography. It’s a flaming potato, people!
Just got back from a great trip to vail where Buzzword Frenzy was the best thing to have on the lifts ever. Great way to pass the time on the lift and a cool way to start talking to girls on the lift with us.
After apres skiing, our ritual was to hit the hottub with beers. What would have been exception would have been some rousing games of Buzzword Frenzy. Unfortunately, iPhone/iPod touch owners in our group were too scared of messing up the phone.
Wish i had read THIS article about waterproofing an iPhone before the trip!
Very excited about the new iPhone SDK 3.0. Some of the features really open up the doors from exciting products. A lot of new ideas are springing up but a lot of ideas around excellent enhancements to BWF are also being formulated.
Good job, Jobs!

Thought of a great variation on Hot Potato to make it a drinking game. The losing team for a round has to review the words and see which word took the longest to clear. The team then has to drink that number of seconds starting with the person who the the device ended on. Even better would be to take the longest time from either team. That way if the winning team really was the crappier team and just got lucky, you would be adding insult to injury by making the better team drink for the winning team’s long word time… sweet.

It is against the rules to say “sounds like” or “rhymes with”, but you can make your teammates say words out loud that you think will trigger their memory.
Example: Say the word that comes up is “Sony stereo”. I can get them to say “Sony” fairly easily - “this is the company that created the Playstation and Walkman”. When it comes to stereo though, my teammates may say “audio”, “mp3 player”, “sound system”, etc. After they dance around the word for a while and don’t seem to be getting to it, I may give them the clue “this is what you do when you’re looking intensely at someone.” “STARE. OHHHHh. stereo!”
Legal and great way to get your teammates minds working the way you want them to.
A lot of time when the pressure’s on, you get mental blocks that affect your ability to articulate. This is why you should always think about acting out words.
