I want one. I know it seems like a distraction and that it is probably unnecessary but it’s not. It’s so fun! And I promise I wouldn’t waste time at work. Only time after work or maybe during lunch. We had a ping pong tournament at my last job that got pretty competitive. The winner even got free movie tickets! I won the consolation bracket but I had the strange feeling that the guy wasn’t too happy and I never got my movie tickets…lame right? So now I’m pushing for it at Shoplet... Read Full Story

For those of us who grew up in the West, ping-pong occupies a place somewhere below darts and above foosball and seems fit mostly for suburban basements and the rec-rooms of rehab centers. It is the kind of sport that causes us to use our hands to make air quotation marks when we use the term “sport” to refer to it. But, of course, these perceptions are cultural. Soccer, or football, which people across huge parts of the world follow like a religion (the kind where attendance is not... Read Full Story

Oscar winner Jessica Yu takes a break from making documentaries. Her first non-documentary feature "Ping Pong Playa" (USA 2007, 96 min.) is a delightful entertaining comedy about an Asian ping pong family with a son who is, to quote Jessica Yu, "smart, profane, buffoonish, and hilarious." In this comedy, writer/director Jessica Yu and writer/actor Jimmy Tsai create a few likable and amusing characters, and blend in commentaries about social and racial stereotypes. Slacker Christopher "C... Read Full Story

World Cup Ping Pong - During my senior year of high school, we were given the choice in phys ed of playing competitive ping pong, or doing aerobics. Since it was the 80’s and I was already taking a Jane Fonda-style aerobics class three nights a week, I chose ping pong, and I discovered that I kicked ping pong butt. The World Cup Ping Pong app from Skyworks is an excellent simulation of playing real ping pong. Just like the real game, you do not need athletic ability to excel at World Cup... Read Full Story
