I Love Old-School Video Games

That’s why I love this video of a Super Mario Bros. speed run visualized as one long projection, superimposed on a street-scene:

If you’re an old-school Mario fan, this site is pretty sweet and includes some whole-world maps that are pretty interesting in their scale.

Note: This will probably be the last thing I post for about at least a week or so. I’m going on a much needed vacation. Would-be crooks: I have folks staying at my house, so don’t bother — there’s nothing worth taking anyway. My plan: Avoiding technology as much as possible and enjoying sleep, sun, and sand as much as I can. Mostly sleep.

When you say you have people at your house, I think of the scene from “Home Alone” where the cardboard cutouts are being controlled with strings and pulleys while music plays. Haha, have a good vacation, escape the heat!

What Did I Miss?

I’m back online after avoiding my computer for a bit. I’m going through my hundreds of e-mail messages, trying to get it all sorted out, working from home this morning…
