Today is Waffle Day!

March 25, 2015 1:47 pm

The Belgian waffle made its first American appearance at the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle. Originally known as the Brussels waffle, named for the capital city from which it comes, the crisp-on-the-outside, airy-on-the-inside waffle was served two ways: the traditional fashion (plain) and with a slight embellishment of freshly whipped cream and just-sliced strawberries. However you enjoy your waffles, today is a great day to do so!

March 19, 2015 1:32 pm

Do you think that you’re pretty well versed in the world’s geography? Can name all 50 states and their corresponding capitals? Put your geography skills to the test with these fun and educational online games—you just may find yourself stumped somewhere around Eastern Europe!

Shepard Software’s U.S.A. Capitals
This challenging game combines both the state capitals and the state’s physical location in the country to test your geography skills all at once. Players are given a state capital and then asked to choose the corresponding state from a blank map of the U.S., which means that even if you know the right state, you still might not get the answer right.

Capitals of the World
Expand your horizons outside of the country as you attempt to identify all of the countries in the world. Begin by clicking a continent from the game’s colorful world map, and then answer questions based on countries within that continent.

Shepard Software’s U.S.A. States
Once you tire of the state capitals, move on to testing your knowledge of their geographical locations. This game from Shepard Software features a blank map of the U.S., and players must click on the proper location of each state presented.
