Take it away, Jason. Hey, man, so I had some, I had some friends over,

some friends of the family over from Florida, visiting the San Francisco area. It was pretty

fun. I got to show them around. We went to the, we actually went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and then we went to

San Francisco proper, I guess you'd say, and I showed them like, have you seen that really old

vintage arcade museum in San Francisco? I saw you post pictures of it. It looked pretty cool, but no,

before that, I haven't seen it. Yeah, so folks at home, check out my Gplus page, and you'll see an original Pong, which is pretty awesome.

And some other really cool, like, old school.

Like, we're talking like 1920s or something, arcades.

Like, they actually have a bunch of these manual arcades or everything's driven by servos and and all that

i would love to get one of those in my house oh it'd be awesome they had one that was a a real BB gun that shot

bbys and you had to like hit real targets that moved around it was crazy bad idea yeah idea. Yeah, I mean, like it shot like,

of course, like low velocity or whatever, but. Oh, okay. Pretty epic. Yeah, still. Yeah, but one of the

interesting things, so I have a tablet. I have, I think of a Motorola Zoom. And so I was kind of like

playing music in the kitchen with the tablet. And, you know, my friend from Florida was like, you know, I really want to get a tablet. I'm kind of really, you know, my techie side really wants a tablet. But I have no use case for it. And, you know, I started, you know, like I bought a tablet, so I feel like I need to like argue on the, you know,

the other side of this. So I was like, yeah, but, but, you know, you can play music. Now, I play music in the kitchen. And he's like, well, you know, I could just play music on my laptop. I can carry my laptop from one room to the other. And it was like really hard. And I thought about it. And I was like, yeah you know I bought this tablet and I really don't do a whole lot with it so I don't know it really made me think about like you know how I can sort of

wait so not only did you not convince him to buy a tablet he made you feel bad for owning one yeah pretty much wow the only thing I really had was that I watch movies in bed, like before I go to sleep.
