In the spirit of the many xkcd comics, here is one of my (new) hobbies: tossing whiteboard markers. In the massive amounts of time I spend alone in my lab, I’ve developed a new game similar to an egg toss to entertain me while my code is executing. I’ll caution you in advance that it’s both extremely addicting and surprisingly loud. Oh yea, you will get some funny looks from anyone who witnesses the game.

The Game: Toss white board markers at the whiteboard and try to get them to land in the ledge/trough.

My current distance record is 18 feet, mostly because that’s the width of the lab.  I might have to open my door and start tossing them from the hallway…
