A few months ago I was shown this really cool website. It has online jigsaw puzzles. I know...puzzles are for losers...but for you losers out in cyberspace there is now a way to be a loser in a modern way. I have to say it has become one of my go-to sites when I need a few minutes of downtime at the computer. Growing up I was a strict edges first kinda gal. The theory being you couldn't possible assemble a picture if you didn't have the frame to give you a general idea of the layout. With online puzzles this has gotten scrapped. Today I assembled a squirrel, before the greenery behind him, a beach chair before I had the beach and the ocean, and a flower pot, before any of the landscaping. The theory here being it's easier to match colors on a computer screen then figure out shapes that "lock" together. Call me a dork, but I have gotten quite good. Today two of my times were a good five minutes below the average. I particularly like the 70 pieces "bulb" shaped puzzles. They're the only ones I play and add a unique twist to an old school game. Try it out if you've got a second...don't dis it until you have.
