Scrabble Board Picture Frame
This is a pretty clever hack for an old Scrabble board. I must admit, seeing someone take an X-acto knife to an old board like this is a bit unsettling, but the end result is pure gold. I am definitely making myself a set of those tile push-pins.

Scrabble Keyboard
Now here’s something you don’t run across every day – a keyboard where the letters have been replaced with Scrabble tiles. Commissioned by a couple of friends of the developer, the keys are made from real tiles that were all hand-beveled. The Caps Lock key was even beveled through to show the green light.
Apparently response was so overwhelming, he is thinking of creating a batch of them for sale. Completely unrelated note: My birthday is in late July. :-)

So I Decided to Create a Blog About Scrabble…
Hello there, and welcome to my new blog. I will admit right up front – this might be one of the nerdier things I have ever done. And I have done an awful lot of nerdy things. But what the hell, right?
I love playing online Scrabble (and the many clones out there) – and it’s clear others do too. Why not create a place where all the word game geeks can go?
I should also admit that I am far from a Scrabble God. I would consider myself to be pretty decent, but I have been on the receiving end of too many vocabulary-based beatdowns to have a monster ego about it.
Blog Goals
I have a few simple goals for this blog:
- Promoting “word-game geekiness” – In my humble opinion, word nerds rule. The more of them running around this world, the better.
- Improving my readers’ game-playing ability – While I’m no genius, I have picked up a few tips and tricks that will help improve your game.
- Creating a community – Let’s get to know one another and share the fun.
- Sharing the creativity of others – There are some neat Scrabble-related things being done around the Internet. I’ll find ‘em and share ‘em.
