Here's a neat idea for a fun and short game to kick-off a generally boing information technology meeting. Techno Blabber is the name I gave a game where you show the group technology phrases on screen where some (maybe 30%) of the phrases are totally made up. Some technology phrases a naturally so inane (Distributed Component Object Model, DCOM) or insipid (Technology Without an Interesting Name, TWAIN) that it's really easy to fool people both ways. I used this power point presentation at a "Trading and Training" session I conducted recently with some of our staff. The game itself was fun and the icebreaker set a nice tone for the training. The whole icebreaker thing was unheard of in my group. So, it was refreshing for everyone.
