Hey, it's Kim Commando today, your daily podcast to keep you up to date with all things digital and beyond.

And I'd love to have you be a part of our podcast.

You can make an appointment to speak with me.

Just head over to commando.com.

And on the top right, there's a button that says email Kim, fill that out.

And that's it.

All right.

I always like to begin with something interesting.

And where were you back in 1984?

Yes, a computer programmer that year by the name of Alexei Pachanov had a great idea for a game.

Now, the game involved fitting geometric shapes together to create horizontal lines, and it was an instant hit.

But he was unable to secure the ownership rights of the game because the Soviet government owned all the computer software at the time.

But the game continued to grow, spreading beyond the Soviet Union.

Do you know the name of the game? It's Tetris, that's right.

The game has sold over 495 million copies. Wow, billions of dollars.

And if you're looking for something to stream over on Apple TV, they rolled out a movie about the origins of the game Tetris.

I mean, tell you it is so good.

And, you know, playing Tetris has taught me a valuable life lesson.

If you try to fit in, you're going to disappear.

And on that happy note,
