This website has a variety of applications such as egg timer, cash clock, chess clock, online alarm clock, metronome, stop watches, countdown timers, and a useful full screen large online calculator. You might find the egg timer useful if you wish to set a certain amount of time to do a specific task or you might like to use the stop watch to time how long it takes to do a task. It is a great time management tool.

The direct link to the blog:

We do not know if this same url will work for every game, but it is worth having in case it does. The last game’s play by play is still online here. When the blog comes up on your screen, click on the space below and outside the square box.
