So it seemed like a good idea. I’m getting kind of hooked on Sudoku, a Japanese logic game that British newspapers picked up and turned into a bit of a craze on that side of the pond. I

don’t get much of a chance to sit down with pencil and paper and work on one, so I went looking for a version for my Treo and lo and behold, soduku on the go, loaded it onto my phone and now I can’t stop playing that freaking game.

onsider the potential ramifications of Sudoku my personal productivity. I console myself with the tenuous belief that while playing I vaguely look like I’m giving my calendar an awful lot of thought. Care to join me in spending an obscene amount of time we could be using for productive, money-making activities instead playing a silly, infuriating game with a bunch of numbers?

Haven’t tried it yet? There’s a bunch of stuff out on the web to help you get started on this wonderful time-obliterating activity. Websudoku has puzzles you can solve online. Here’s a cool Sudoku primer (pdf) I just turned up. Other than that the Sudoku Wikipedia entry has all you could hope for to start you down the road to addiction.
