I forgot about this incredible documentary about the history of arguably the world’s most enduring video game Tetris.
Thanks to Jason Kottke for the link (both a fw months ago and then in his 2006 roundup).
If the trade negotiations between all of the parties had gone differently, I wonder what the face of video gaming would look like today?
2 Tbs oil, (depending on how much you want to make) ratio: 1cup rice (Jasmine best) to 1 cup vege stock and ½ can coconut milk. (I go double)
Heat oil on medium, add rice and stir constantly until slightly brown, add stock and coconut milk (careful it bubbles up).
Stir every couple minutes so it doesn’t stick, turn down the heat a bit. When most of the liquid is absorbed turn off the heat and leave pot covered for about 5 minutes.
I love the PNG image format. I like using gradients in site’s that I design, and nothing beats a 24 bit PNG for that. I also use PNG wherever I can, because they make my life easier.
They can be pretty hefty in file size, however. So recently I have taken to using OptiPNG to optimise the file size of each image.
I have set up a small shortcut on my desktop to the OptiPNG application, and all I have to do is drop files onto it and each file is stripped of extraneous data, sometimes drastically reducing the file size.
From the OptiPNG site:
OptiPNG is a PNG optimizer that recompresses image files to a smaller size, without losing any information. This program also converts external formats (BMP, GIF, PNM; TIFF support is coming up) to optimized PNG, and performs PNG integrity checks and corrections.
This is a compulsary download for all PNG lovers

I swear they are reading my mind, because I was just wishing for this today. Lo and behold, this post shows up in my FeedBurner.
