139th New Thing - Played Draw Something

I wanted to see what OMGPOP's Draw Something app was all about so I downloaded the game to my new Razr to check it out. Draw Something is a social mobile game that challenges players to draw and guess pictures with their family and friends (basically it is the digital version of Pictionary). I started a game with Matt. I drew the word Grapes and sent it. Then he guessed (correctly) and drew the word Sit for me to guess (correctly). I'm not sure how points work. Draw Something is relatively new and went viral fast. It reached 1 million downloads before it had a single search result in Google News. At 4 weeks old, the app has about 6 million downloads and users that are creating 1,000 drawings every second. It is currently the #1 free app in the app store. It's also the #1 word game in 26 countries. That's what I call good word of mouth marketing!

271st New Thing - Visited the Space Needle

I was on vacation so I didn't have time to post the last few nights, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred 1 day ago (Tues 7/17/12). We were in the northwest in the Washington State area for a few days so Matt and my 2 Chicago friends were in Seattle and up the Space Needle yesterday. The Space Needle is a tower in Seattle, Washington and is a major landmark of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It was built for the 1962 World's Fair, during which time nearly 20,000 people a day used the elevators, with over 2.3 million visitors in all for the World Fair. The Space Needle is 605 feet high at its highest point and 138 feet wide at its widest point and weighs 9,550 tons. It is built to withstand winds of up to 200 mph and earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitude. The tower also has 25 lightning rods on its roof to prevent lightning damage. The Space Needle features an observation deck at 520 feet, and a gift shop with the rotating SkyCity resta...
