Free Rice

Now I realize that this has nothing to do with music, but it is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. This is right up there with news of Derek Webb giving away his entire album for free. Ever since I was in the 4th grade when I first embarked on my journey down the Oregon Trail, I have been a sucker for simple addictive computer games. I am especially prone to word games, such as Yahoo’s Text Twist, or Fowl Words, which I highly recommend. But see I didn’t give you a link to those, because I don’t want you to hooked on those like I did, when you can play one that is just addicting and just as fun, and you can save lives while doing so. I’m not even kidding. When you play this simple but addictive vocab game, 20 grains of rice are donated through the UN World Food Program for each word that get correct. Believe it or not, you can actually have fun, improve your vocabulary, and help to end world hunger all at the same time. And you can do it all right here.

I just couldn’t resist.
