Glad you got your visa Beth! Good luck with the job search! How is the economy there…is it easy to find a job?

Also, Josh, I enjoyed this picture immensely.

Hey that would be crazy if a “super” Mario (hehe) ran amok in downtown Melbourne! We’d have to get a Donkey Kong to drop some oversized barrels on him.

I now have my visa! I better get busy looking for a job…

Very nice photo above…everything exposed well despite being later in the evening.

I can’t help but wonder what would happen if an oversized Mario ran amok, Godzilla style, throwing fireballs around and smashing bricks.

The video game thing sounds really cool. Bethany filled me in on some details in an email. The evolution of the video game is pretty interesting. Lots of games from the early 80s had a bunch of bizarre ideas for a game…I guess they were a lot of evolutionary dead ends so to speak before fighting games and racing games started dominating everything.

Oh you asked about Beth. She is unfortunately still waiting on work visa approval. I am sponsoring her as my “de facto spouse” so that she can work, but the visa application has taken a ridiculously long time to get through all the red tape. We are hoping it will be approved this week some time.

Of course I remember Pong… but not from when it was originally released .

This was fun. I made sure Hal read your post. (Do you actually remember Pong?) For someone who loves games, this must have been a real treat for you–both the training and the games, so many of them. What is Beth doing these days? I presume working–doing what?
