There’s a game on Facebook called PackRat. It’s like playing Mah Jong but the tiles are icons hidden around that you can also buy are steal from your friends. I’ve never played it. It’s appears to be quite popular.
Today a friend informed me that I’m part of a themed icon set for SXSW. There are 50,000 tiles available of ‘Ted Rheingold’ each worth 500 points. My friend managed to get (by stealing I believe) the #1 of the 50,000 set. I’m honored.
I can’t help but feel like I’ve achieved the glory of being on a baseball card while suffering the stigma of being a top dork. Something about 16 Candles and being king of the dorks. Anyway, I’ll enjoy it. Probably won’t ever happen again.
Here’s the card from the game.
