Happy Birthday

Today is the 34th birthday of Pong. On, November 29th, 1971, Atari released the video game Pong. Although this wasn't the first video game, it was the first commercial video game and the beginning of the video game revolution. If it wasn't for this game, we wouldn't have gotten, Space Invaders, Pac Man, Zelda, Mario Brothers, Doom, Command and Counquer, Medal of Honor, or Final Fantasy. I would like to thank Atari for helping to turn my brain to mush and at the same time suck my wallet dry. So, today, go out to their web site and download pong and feel free to waste a whole day playing it. For some reason, it is still more fun than working.
