Well, these are interesting thoughts. I think they are true. However, everything is
relative and ambiguous to my mind.

We don’t have Table Tennis but we have Foosball which is pretty much the same idea, except since it can’t leave the table we use 3 foosballs at a time to keep things interesting.

TT is great. I can hardly wait until the next generation of Wii has a sophisticated enough wiimote to deal with all the subtleties of TT, then it will really make me sweat.

Totally agreed! Table tennis is a big part of our corporate culture at my company, Hashrocket. We have a table just down the hall. And we take it serious. We have a web-based competition ladder and everything. Ping pong is the perfect complement to programming. Programming is cerebral and contemplative. Ping pong is active and reflexive and puts you “in the zone” almost immediately. Plus, it’s a great competitive way to work out interpersonal issues with your co-workers. Haha, cheers, great article.

unbelievable, awesome, mind boggling video. the problem with TT is, it is very addictive game. once developers are on it, it is hard to get them back to work. how do you solve that?
