Yeah, remember that spate of NYTimes crap about how electronics are driving us to distraction? They had an interactive test where they flashed some different colored rectangles for a fraction of a second, and then put them back up, and you had to decide if any had been rotated… Apparently people who multitask do worse on this test or whatever. My game-honed skillz netted me a perfect score. It reminded me of the joy I used to feel when beating on some pointless standardized test before college (oh, those were the days…).

I think I like Halo 2600 better than Halo 360…
