While I personally am not a Pacman fan, I found something that may be of interest to some of you... a Ms. Pacman board game.  It's a 3D printed board and it looks like this...

... if this interests you, it's available <<HERE>> at the printables website for free.

THIS is the best post I've seen so far in 2024!  Thank you!

I'm just going to leave this here...

Remember Lincoln Logs?

I read in the news today that some people who've have had their "Cybertrucks" for less than two weeks are already developing rust issues.  I guess the so-called stainless steel truck has very little chromium content in it's steel.  Now if that can happen in California after only two days of rain, what would happen in other places where it rains more?  I can envision a lot of time, effort and money devoted to maintenance, either that or many $80,000 "Cybertrucks" will look like they've been sitting in a farmers field since the 1950's.
 

Well, this is technically a game item... so anyway, I was recently introduced to a game called Sequence but I found the blue, red and green tokens a little plain, so I printed up a set of 50 in satin copper.

While this is a little alarming, I watched the episode.  The guy uses it for retro-gaming!  He said it is essentially a flat panel TV with composite inputs.  This is exactly what I would use this for! 

I think I've seen that one before.

Hey, I'm going to have my tombstone purposefully made with an error.  Other than my epitaph reading "Logged Off", I'm going to have my birth year start with an 18 instead of a 19.  If anyone even notices, they'll say, "Wow he lived a long life!"

I had a landline but even over VOIP I was still getting spammed with unwanted telemarketeer calls because I forgot to get an unlisted number, so I canceled it to also help reduce my cable bill.
My smartphone is only a necessity for work related purposes so I can use the scheduling app to find out what hours have changed and to call off work if an emergency comes up. Plus I also use it to keep in touch with my family members and for news & weather updates.  And yes it really helps if I have to call AAA for road service!
I do not do any social networking or play mobile games on it, so I only need a cheapo Android phone.  I much rather use my Windows 10 PC for everyday stuff or even my Samsung tablet for mobile usage.
 

We have a time traveler on the forum!  Lend me your time machine!  There are things I want to buy in the 80's so I can sell them for outrageous prices now!  😁

Related to this topic slightly....my mom, whose dementia continues to progress 😞  For a long time, we had a simple "ladybug" cell phone for her to use.  But she eventually lost the ability to use it...BUT we switched her back to a land line with the phone pictured below.  And she loves it.  She answers it and calls us successfully.  So thank goodness these are still available.  It costs more than a cell phone, but totally worth it for her situation.

I just found this video by chance.  It is from Star Trek Day 2021 but well worth a watch...
