Who hasn’t been waking up early and staying up late to catch every second of action at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London?
The Olympics, of course, are airing on NBC in what is the first social media Olympics in history. But some of you might be old enough to remember when ABC “owned” the Olympics, and their motto for ABC Sports was “The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.”
Certainly the Olympics is all about winning, but we thought it would be fun to look at the agony of defeat — not only in the Olympics, but in software development.
So to do that, we created The Geek Games: The Battle for Last Place. Clearly the folks over at ReadWriteWeb got the joke because it ran our infotoon on its front page.
Vault over to ReadWriteWeb to check out what it has to say about the cartoon. And don’t forget to download a copy for yourself and share it around with your teams and any of your social handles to spread the Olympic fun.
