Probably not one I'd be very good at writing up but I bet someone on the team might be. And it makes me think there are other office activities that could somehow be translated for virtual teams. Like people on Twitter last night were saying what drinks they were having--a virtual happy hour (so long as it doesn't devolve into everyone sitting around drinking alone!) Amie - that's a great one too. We need to do more hardware comparison/discussion items. Ryan - thanks, that’s a good idea.

My laptop monitor died, so I currently have an ancient (and overly dark) monitor hooked up so I can keep working. And I wanted to get a shiny new HD LCD monitor to hook up to my Mac Mini so I can send the laptop off for repairs, but I am having a hard time picking a monitor. I am being particularly picky since my job requires me to work with original art via jpegs all day, so quality is a serious consideration. So maybe an open discussion on desktop monitor choices and who likes what? You know, there is a topic I was interested in.

With March Madness coming up, I'm hoping to start an RIA-bloggers league because I always loved doing March Madness and Fantasy Sports at the office before I became a WW. A lot of the leagues are easy to access online, but I haven't seen anything about which ones are best, how to choose who you do one with or how to keep it fun while it's all being done online.
