Said on Sunday by my 17-year old cousin:

What's that gray box thing?

She was referring to my (other) cousin's NES.

Also, shortly later:

What's Duck Hunt?

...

If it makes you feel better, I knew what both of those were when I was 17. Y'know, way back 2 days ago.

I suppose you have to be into the subject at hand to be aware of things which were before your time. And no one really expects a 17-year old girl to be into video games.

But it's still jarring to realize that there are people out there who aren't familiar with things that you and everyone else your age grew up with, not because they lived under a rock, but because they're too young to remember.

It was 81 degrees in New York today.

It was around 73 in Fresno today, and will climb over the week, until summer it can get to 110 in the shade sometimes.

My dad asked recently, quite seriously, what Tetris is.

I do hope you told him off for that

"Well, he's old" might be a tempting excuse, but he wouldn't have been old when Tetris was new.

He was in his mid-20's, I think. Older than I am now.

Tetris music still pops into my head from time to time. I used to play that game a lot.

I used to have a portable tetris gameboard but I lost it years ago for some reason...

We had to play Tetris in marching band for the senior show this year

[Muck308 55]

What's your instrument, Vince? I used to play the trumpet myself. Only up through 8th grade though.

Good thing I haven't set up a PSN account. Seems every last one of them has had the personal information contained in them compromised.

[Chptrk 86]

3349.

Seems like it. Makes me glad the email I have set up with it isn't the one I use anymore, and that I never saved my dad's credit card on it from when I bought a few things.

[Larks2242 251]

3350.

I'm not worried, as soon as PSN comes up i'll just change my password have $200 on PSN, shoulden't be an issue, no one can use it when PSN is not running.

[Duke87 1,070]

(3351)

My understanding is that someone has the information, independent of PSN, and thus can use it even with the network down (just on other things).

So the Queen's decided to pull the Chaser's coverage. Shame really now there's not much to watch on TV tomorrow

[nathanthemayor 1,262]

I would not be able to watch the wedding as it starts at 1 Am my time.

@ Duke: They can't acess the funds currently in my account without acess to PSN since the money is on PSN, at least that is what i believe.

Yes, but they have your name, address, and email address, and the possibility exists that they may have your credit card number. So access to PSN is irrelevant.

Today was interesting... awoke to high winds and debris flying down my street, losing power sometime between then and when I woke up for school, we still had school, trees down, utility poles down, traffic lights dark, traffic lights in awkward positions, signs and their posts torqued into a different directions, and nearly hurricane force winds. Yay!

@ Duke

They A don't have my name and address cause i never put it in and b: i use prepaid PSN cards.

So it would kinda be hard to steal my info all they got was my E-mail and PSN password.

Anyone can ask for my E-mail and i don't have a problem giving that out anyway, so it was pointless on their part if i was a target

Now if they hacked my paypal account that would be really dangerous.
