Pac-Man turns 30
Thank you Google for reminding me that today is Pac-Man’s 30th birthday. Pac-Man was the game that got me into gaming and technology in general. 30 years ago I was only five, so I am not sure if I was playing it then or not, but I remember going to the local roller rink to play the arcade games, and Pac-Man was the best one. When I finally got my Atari 2600 I was in heaven being able to play Pac-Man whenever I wanted for free in my living room. I played that game for hours, and nobody could beat my high scores.Today you can play Pac-Man right on Google. I got suckered in and played it for a half hour. It’s such an addicting game for me–maybe more so than Tetris even. If you missed playing Pac-Man on Google, you can play it here:

Ben Folds’ Nashville Flood Pictures
Here in Fargo we are no strangers to floods. It’s pretty much a yearly thing for us, but we always know it’s coming so we have time to build our dikes. Down in Nashville it was a different story. Ben Folds lives in the Nashville area and has taken a few pictures and had them featured on nationalgeographic.com. From my experience these pictures come no where near showing how disastrous the flood really was. I’m sure the people of Nashville our coming together to rebuild the damage, just as we do in Fargo.
