Connect to the Power Grid Day

More Power!


From time to time you hear about someone going off the (power) grid. Well, today is the day to do the opposite. Connect to the Power Grid Day is when you should try to use the power grid as much as possible.

Plug in everything you have and turn everything on. Use all your wifi gadgets at once.

Let's see how just how much power there is (or isn't) in this thing we call the power grid. If we cause a brown out or a black out, that's a good thing. It'll show those responsible for maintaining the grid just what they need to do to prevent such a thing from happening again.

On a related note, you can also play the game called Power Grid today. It's a great game that makes you think (horrors!) and takes a while to play, but I think you'll enjoy it.

I don't understand people who claim they don't like to think when playing games. You have to think when playing even the simplest game, like Skipbo. I guess what they mean is that they don't like having to think a lot, because you don't have to think a lot in Skipbo.

Games like Skipbo are fine for kids to learn how to play by a set of rules, but adults should be able to handle a lot more than that.
