Female Version of Steve Wozniak and Ninja Burger Card Game
Here's an interesting article highlighting the impressive talents of Jeri Ellsworth, for her ingenuity and skills with circuit design. I'm always impressed by people who can design neat toys - but to do so without formal training is even more monumental. Sure, there are a lot of smart people out there who can design circuits when asked to do it for a class assignment or for work, but it takes something more special to do it as a hobby and be completely self-taught as well.
On a silly note, we were in New England this past weekend for a friend's surprise birthday party. Yes, he was VERY surprised. One of the presents we got for him was Steve Jackson's Ninja Burger card game, which we all got a chance to play during the weekend. If you like to play board or card games, you should buy this. It's a silly game, but a ton of fun to play with good friends. The object of the game is to basically be the ninja with the highest number of honor points. How do you get honor points? You deliver burgers - ninja style, or course - to various places. The places can range from elevator shafts to figure skating championships to Elvis - yes, the King is still alive. But, watch out - other players can try and mess with your missions. Intrigued? Buy the game online - it's a load of laughs and fun.
