Wow, we have dozens of people using print-bingo.com to create Super Bowl themed bingo cards already!
This is a reminder blog post about our template bingo word list for Super Bowl bingo cards. You’ll find the list on print-bingo.com. All you need to do to create your free printable bingo cards is click submit a couple times and our custom PDF for you will appear for you to print.
This year’s Super Bowl is on Feb. 7, 2010.
As always, at print-bingo.com, you can customize the cards so that you have exactly the terms you want. The Super Bowl themed word list is not specific to any given year, so you might want to insert a few extra terms like “XLIV”, “New Orleans”, “Saints”, “Indianapolis”, “Colts”, etc. Oh, and the actual teams – once they’re decided, of course.
For the next couple months, our hometown, the fabulous city of Vancouver, BC, Canada will be in the news a lot.
Teachers around the world will be looking for a good word list about Vancouver, so we made one. Visit print-bingo.com for our template Vancouver, BC, Canada, word list which is great for bingo cards, and other educational activities. We’ve mixed in some geographic words, landmarks, transit names, historic neighbourhood names, and more. Feel free to customize it to fit your needs!
Basic access to print-bingo.com is free. However, hundreds of people every year decide to upgrade for only $10 to get a whole bunch of extra features.
P.S. Hey, look at that, an entire blog post about Vancouver without using the “O” word. :)
We were absolutely floored to stumble upon this great video about the Naque for Unique Names website!
This clever young fellow, DamageTutorials, seems to really enjoy creating his usernames with unique-names.com.
Not only is it a better quality video than we would ever be able to make, coming from us it would literally be self-promotion. When this fellow does it, it’s much more believable.
Thanks DamageTutorials! You made our day.
Update: Rats, it appears that DamageTutorials’ YouTube account has been deactivated. We’re hosting the video here on the blog, we can’t find contact information for DamageTutorials… so if you happen to see this, drop us a line.
Here’s the original YouTube video embed, though, it probably will never work again:
Check out the video DamageTutorial’s – Unique names – Thinks of a username for you in seconds on YouTube. Make sure that you turn on your speakers, the narration is quite good.
It’s less than a month until Valentine’s Day. If you are a teacher, and you are looking for a fun way to spend some class time, then consider our customizable Valentine’s day bingo cards.
An example today about how an error message can make the difference between a happy end user, and an annoyed end user that is willing to blog about it – that’s me.
If you try to login to your account on the Fido.ca website, at about 11:30PM Pacific Time, you will get this error message: “Sorry! Your request cannot be completed at this time. Please try again later.”
On any other website, I would assume that there is a temporary, generally one-time, issue. Maybe the site is overloaded, or it might have a technical glitch. That’s OK. In Fido land? This error means that the website is down for it’s nightly maintenance and I should give up and try tomorrow, but earlier in the night because Fido doesn’t like people on the West Coast.
This isn’t listed anywhere – it’s something that I’ve deduced over months of using the Fido site to pay my bill by credit card. I’m not impressed that Fido’s website has a nightly maintenance schedule, especially one that seems to kick in before midnight Vancouver time, but I’m really not impressed by the wording of the error. All they need to do is follow the banks and fess up to their maintenance schedule. Something like, “Hi, the Fido.ca user site is unavailable from 11PM to 6AM PST. Please try again during our operating hours.”
As an aside, if you’re wondering what the error message is if you have entered your phone number or password wrong, it’s “No match for that phone number and password was found. Please try again… Sorry! No match was found for that phone number and password. Please retry.” in a red box right above the login boxes. I kept getting the “Please try again later” error, so at one time I wondered if I had been using the wrong password.
Is this a big enough annoyance to make me switch my cell plan away from Fido? No, but this added to various other annoyances and… well… I’ll certainly be evaluating my options when the new wireless providers in Canada start up in 2010.
