Today, I went to Game on! at the State Library of Queensland, which is on from
17 November 2008 – 15 February 2009, open daily 10am - 5pm.

The event was split into two levels with the more modern, console games upstairs -- teehee, you have to que up for the Wii. But, level 1 was where it was at with the highlights being the original 1965 Space Wars on a PDP-1, Stand-up Asteroids which was in impeccable condition, Berzerk (with slightly dodgy joystick), Stand-up Discs of Tron - I had the high score when we left, Missile Command - the original trackball classic (as seen in Chuck recently), Star Wars and Dig Dug.

Pity no photos are allowed, otherwise I would have been all over this like a rash, so best get down there and check it out for yourself.

"Sapporo Breweries Ltd said Tuesday that it will hold in January tastings of the world’s first beer made with barley descending from plants grown inside the International Space Station.

A total of 30 couples, who have been selected through a lottery, will be invited to the events at the company’s six plants from Hokkaido to Oita Prefecture, Sapporo said."

Ah ... Space Beer ... sounds awesome.

"The crazy idea of selling billions of gallons of water in everlasting plastic bottles to people who already have access to clean water sources is turning our planet into a gigantic garbage heap.

Finally, somebody is doing something about that. Brandimage created the 360 Bottle made of paper, which is 100% renewable."
