I saw this a few months ago but completely forgot about it. It was linked to from a site that I was recommended by a monk who used to dance with my dog.

I can’t remember how I originally found this site, but I am sure glad I did. I just found myself with a bit of an urge to hack something out on paper. Some designs that have been stuck in my head for a couple of days (poor buggers) and that would disappear into vapour if I didn’t get them into a hard copy.

I can barely write legibly let alone draw, so I usually like to have a grid of some sort or some lines available to guide my doodling. That’s when I remembered Pocket Mod. Having seen that there was a sudoku game as one of pocket mods pages (more in a second), I googled “paper print and fold sudoku” and Pocket Mod was found.

This site is one of my favourite pieces of creativity. Simple yet very effective. It allows you to create an 8 sectioned piece of paper, with each section containing a different kind of page. It can be a simple grid like I required, a shopping list, a calendar , a game of tic-tac-toe or a list of mathematic formulas. Then all there is to do is print and use it. So mind-numbingly simple.

Sure this could be hacked up with a bit of time in a word processor, but the simplicity with which it is achieved along with the neat Flash Interface and overall fuzzy feeling I get from using it, make Pocket Mod a breath of fresh air.

I am a big fan of addictive games, and this one is no exception. Try to link up the paths so that there is a non-broken path between each colour “node”. First few levels are trivial, but get towards the double-figure levels, and the brain starts cranking into action.

Though the game is simple the interface is pretty nifty and smooth, and the game should keep you busy during those lunch breaks…
