Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.” My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. “Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. I guess you can beat your friends at it, if you count that as winning," one optimistic gamer wrote on Reddit today.Ībout a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”: You can click each falling Zergling into obsolescence, but eventually, too many Os will cover your screen. "You can't win, but you can share your score on Google+. Of course, as many disappointed users have pointed out, there's no real way to beat the Zerg rush. (As far as we can tell, there's no way to "win."Īs an extra-bonus, you can share your high score on Google+, Google's social network. Now click on as many Os – otherwise known as "Zerglings" – as you can before the Os form a big pair of Gs, at which the game is over – you've lost. Wait for a waterfall of Os – all from the Google logo – to fall over your search results. Type in the phrase "zerg rush." (For the uninitiated, it's a tactic from the strategy game Starcraft.) Steel yourself. Here's how it works: Navigate over to the Google homepage. Today comes news of the newest Google surprise: a cascading, fast-moving, completely-playable tribute to the classic video game Starcraft. Also the barrel roll (not for those susceptible to motion sickness). And the one about the "loneliest number plus number of horns on a unicorn" (just try it). There was the one about the " loneliest number". Google has a great track record with easter eggs. Tennessee State might just be about to show everyone how much. The move could generate new revenue, and there will eventually be new scholarships. A 2022 USA Today report found that the NHL is 93% white, with only 54 players from minority groups. Tennessee State has a relationship with the National Hockey League’s Nashville Predators, and it did a feasibility study with College Hockey Inc., an organization that seeks to grow collegiate hockey. “No one has done what we’re about to do.” This decision didn’t just pop into the administration’s mind. “We’re just trying to change the world,” says Nick Guerriero, assistant athletic director for communications. Others might follow suit.The program will start modestly – as a club team the first two years – in the hopes of building something lasting. ![]() And as the first HBCU to offer hockey, Tennessee State could be a game-changer. Adding a hockey team will attract students who might not have otherwise considered the university. But my excitement about the Tennessee State announcement comes from seeing the school glow up. But I can’t ice-skate, and I’m mystified by the body mechanics behind the slap shots that send a puck rocketing toward the net, a perfect 6 inches off the ice.On television, hockey looks fun. ![]() Yes, I root for my hometown team, the Philadelphia Flyers. It’s fast-paced and explosive, and entails the most individual creativity while still being a team sport. For the record, basketball is my favorite sport. Last week, Tennessee State University, a historically Black university in Nashville, announced it would form a hockey team for the 2024-25 season. This got me excited.
