Instructions

• Look at all the annoying conference call stuff listed on your card
• When you hear something that's on your card, click it!
• Each click adds to your score.
• If you get 5 in a row, say "BINGO!" and you win! (But, did you really win?)
• If no one BINGOs, then the highest score wins
• TIP: If you hit refresh, you'll get new annoying stuff, but it'll clear your score and your clicks.
• PRO TIP: For conference calls longer than 1 hour, play blackout and try to cover all squares!

Credit where credit is due

I did this silliness as an exercise to teach myself how to read and manipulate XML files using JavaScript, and then display them into HTML5 with formatting controlled by CSS.

The source material came from an article on Boing Boing.

I added titles to the columns, and a little over 10 possible topics each. It loads them from XML, shuffles them and displays the first 5 in each column.
