&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I thought this site &lt;a href="http://corkshare.com/"&gt;CorkShare&lt;/a&gt; was sort of interesting. It’s a Tumblr-like experience (including a dashboard), but instead of a &lt;em&gt;blog&lt;/em&gt;, you get a &lt;em&gt;corkboard&lt;/em&gt;. It seems to be a labor of love of three young entrepreneurs and for some reason I have a good feeling about it. There’s a news profile of them &lt;a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2776692/corkshare_the_love_cwru_students_create.html?cat=15"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://erikmallinson.com/post/452297723</link><guid>http://erikmallinson.com/post/452297723</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:31:09 -0400</pubDate><category>bkaro</category><category>CorkShare</category></item><item><title>I got a perfect score (0).

&lt;p&gt;This is the Munsell Hue Test.  This REALLY HURT my eyes.  This was fun, and difficult.  Enjoy.  I got a 12 (0 is best)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I admire anyone who can get a perfect score on the &lt;a href="http://www.spectralcolor.com/game/huetest_kiosk"&gt;Munsell Hue Test&lt;/a&gt;… I think I just went blind trying it.&lt;/p&gt;

The top comes off, exposing a recessed gaming area. On said area there is a translucent cover that one can draw on using overhead projector markers. Covered drawers pop out on the sides to hold player items. There’s even an optional cup holder.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In our next home we’re thinking about having everything close to the floor, but this table made me rethink it. That’s until I read that they can make a custom 12” high table that is made for such decor. WANTWANTWANT.&lt;/p&gt;
