Take *that* Pop Culture!

in Random Bytes

10051708For years I've regarded myself as being on the outs with "Pop Culture" - not that I don't like it, rather, it doesn't seem to like me. I tend to spend far too much time exploring the fads and fashions that I do like and far too little time exploring the new ones to stay on or ahead of the curve.

All this is just a roundabout way of saying that when I was in school, I wore corduroy, alligators and boat shoes far longer than any of the other kids.

Nevertheless, it pleases me greatly when I do get ahead of the curve. Seeing this Tetris TV game with great controllers on BoingBoing tells me that I'm not a total moron when it comes to all things Hip. You see,  this is *precisely* what I got Amanda for Christmas! I also picked up the PacMan and Space Invaders consoles for my brothers, and the Atari 2600 "replica" for myself!

Very cool stuff it seems.

...and fun too!
