Now I may not be a super competitive person, but at times, beating others at marginally useless games of skill makes me a tad giddy.My newly found distraction-site-'o-the-day? TypeRacer.
This beta site is a way of testing your typing speed. And probably a way of improving your typing speed. All while entering in famous and slightly amusing quotes from songs, movies, books, and the like. You can practice on your own, or you can compete against others. And if you're like me, you win most of the time -- you win even though you never learned how to type "properly" using the right fingers. And then you get that buzz of exoneration from the memory of that temp Office Manager that told you at age 20 that you'd never amount to anything because you didn't type with the "proper" fingers. Or maybe that's just me.
Anyhow...try the game. It's fun and ever so slightly addictive. In seven "races," I made it to "megaracer" status. If it's got the word "mega" in it, it must be the cool people level.
