•Start a blog
I mean why not? Ok I might overly romanticise the idea of a blog, its not as easy as it seems, I would know. I have over 8 years of experience at it and oh the things I could teach, am known as an uncle of bloggers in some circles. You can reach out to me and I would be happy to share, I have grown into the person I wished I had met when I was starting my blog.
•Play a game
I grew up an in era of TV games played from 8 bit consoles and have seen them evolve to consoles that have way more processing power than the computer I am using to type up this post.
I don’t have games on my phone so I don’t have to lie when a toddler asks me if I have games on my phone..
One can find simple free games on a site like Plays.org. You might see me hunched over my laptop and think I am conjuring up an intriguing story and yet I am simply playing a game.
Super Tetris inspired by the classic game Tetris where you arrange blocks trying to create lines takes me back to an age waaaay back. When I was first introduced to classic Tetris I didn’t like it much, I found it boring and would rather play Super Mario or Contra but it grew on me, like an acquired taste and now I remember it fondly and easily as my favourite game of all time.
For those looking to amp up their typing speed there’s fun typing games to hone those keyboard fingers into quick draw machines
There are games that will keep the whole family entertained and they are all absolutely free, and don’t require high systems resources, so why not give it a whirl, you might be pleasantly surprised, I know I was….
What other interesting things can one do to pass the time as we wait for the world to return to normal?
