Fun
- Doodle Too - A big multiplayer/group blackboard you can doodle on in all the colors of the rainbow. Well, this may seem like very silly fun - but sometimes I just like to unwind for a few minutes and doodle here (this has the feel to me like the teacher's left the classroom and the kids have taken over the blackboard - kind of a hoot).
