Friday was my brother’s birthday, so he had a party at his place in downtown Chicago. Beautiful night for grilling on the rooftop, with great views of the city.
On Saturday a friend and I went to the Museum of Science and Industry to see Game On, and exhibit on the history and future of video games. It was pretty interesting – of course right as you walk in, there’s Pong on a big screen. He beat me 10-8.
There were probably a couple hundred games there, ranging from arcade-style to console games. I hadn’t been to the museum in several years (I think since the Titanic came through). There were quite a few new things to see, including a completely re-done U-505 exhibit, which was impressive. Next time you have an urge to tour a German U-boat, this is the place to go, since it’s the only one left on Earth.
