Remember my love of two-dollar words?

I generally avoid computer games, mainly because I waste enough time reading blogs as it is. FreeRice.com is a really neat idea, however. It's a vocab game that progressively gets harder as you play. There are tons of those out there though. The unique feature of this site is that every word you get right equals a grain of rice donated to impoverished nations. The site has a FAQ that explains how exactly that works. (Believe me, I definitely didn't trust this one at first look. It seems to be legit though.) This is a really easy way of expanding your vocab and feeling good about yourself in the process. Plus your ego gets a boost when you get the obscure words. Win win!
