Angry Birds Guilt-Inducing Pig Mailman
I play Angry Birds. I have the following versions: HD, Star Wars, RIO, Seasons, and Space. It’s a fun game full of amusing details. One of those amusing details is the mailman pig that’s seen between levels. He wants to deliver ads for other Angry Birds (and Rovio) products to players. That’s his sole purpose.…

Read the Full PostWhat day is today?
Interesting conversation on the train to work this morning. Being that it’s the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and most of the folks on the train have a 3-day work week, we were all trying to decide which day it was mentally.
