Popfly Olympic Games

Whoo hoo!  I participated in the Olympic Games and won a gold medal in Synchronized Swimming! 
OK, so it wasn't the actual Olympics.  I was visiting the Microsoft Popfly website.  The team has released a series of 10 Olympic-themed games built using Popfly that you can play or embed into your own website. 
In case you're not familiar with it, Microsoft Popfly is a fun, easy way to build and share mashups, gadgets, games, web pages, and applications.  It's free to use, and any user can store up to 100MB of content.  It uses Microsoft Silverlight under the covers.  You can create your own games for the web simply, without writing a line of code!  For more information, check out the Overview and the FAQ
