This is the 100th School’s out Friday post! I couldn’t resist using this video that Alec Couras tweeted about today. It’s a send up of Farmville, a game that people play where they run their own farm. I’ve seen peoples’ Facebook updates where they mention how they’ve planted new crops and purchased livestock and I’ve wondered what this Farmville thing is. My daughter mentioned that she knows friends who are obsessed with it and my husband was telling me that people at his work devote hours to it too.
It makes me think. People who don’t understand how Twitter works often express disbelief that I would spend time looking at it. Maybe they’d express disbelief that people spend hours on Farmville too. I think I could raise a bit of a case about which pursuit is the more productive. Or maybe not; Farmville seems to have a fair spread of users!
100 School’s out Friday posts. That’s an awful lot of Friday nights trying to source something funny for the end of the working week. I like the continuity of it though, and it certainly forces me to keep posting.
Enjoy the weekend. This time next week I’ll be on a plane headed for New York. School’s out Friday may very well be absent. Let me see what I can come up with!!
Lucacept - intercepting the Web 
lol – there are alot of these ‘types’ of videos on youtube. I think they were original inspired by the video entitled ‘Powerthirst’.
Thanks for this one Jenny.
Only a week to go – lucky you. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences, Jenny. Have a great time.
Nerves kicking in a bit now Tania! Hope I navigate everything alright. The big airports freak me out a bit!
Just think backwards from the time you return with a great store of amazing experiences and new connections with interesting people.
Thanks Tania – good advice. I’ll remember that when I’m tackling those airports. : )
