Ok to be honest, I'm just here for the games! Friday Night Fights is new to me, but seems like a really cool ladder competition... To be honest, I just can't seem to get a high-score on the cannon game...
You might be working for Intel (lucky punk) but that doesn't mean you can post a shameless plug with a crappy blog without introducing yourself. You might want to write an intro blog elaborating on what you've written in your sidebar.
Try what Justice said and make an intro blog. Also, make blogs like this longer and make them worth the read. Talk about why you like the game, or what makes it hard. One more thing, be careful when posting links to a separate blog. You have no intro, and so it kind of looks like you might be just coming in here to spam. Be careful.
Haven't played cannon, though. Also, I haven't tried the Friday Night Fights. I'm just not much of an online guy. I like a good story.

I'm a technology enginer @ Intel and I also have a serious passion for PC gaming. I believe my first gaming system was "PONG" and I had somewhat of the oddball Odyssey2 gaming system when I was younger. We even had the add-on voice module! Eventually, I became the owner of an Apple ][+ (yes all 48k of goodness) with the Apple Monitor III (green monochrome)... little did I know that my endless days of BASIC programming,and BBS surfing would bring me to where I am today... I have build countless dozens of PCs, Servers, etc and my house is full of technology.
