Double Fall



Double Fall

Test your ambidextrous skills with this double screen game.

Instructions:

In this game you control 2 balls, one on each side of the screen. Control the left ball with A and D and the right ball with right and left. Your goal on the left side is to go through the spaces without being forced out the top, while on the right side it is to find the spaces to avoid being squashed at the bottom. The game gets harder and time goes on.

Walk Don't Run - The Ventures

Was saddened earlier today to hear of the passing of Bob Bogle, co-founder and lead guitarist of the Ventures.

From The News Tribune of Tacoma:

Bogle, a resident of Vancouver, Wash., was 75 when he died on Sunday. He suffered from non-Hodgkin lymphoma and became too frail to play with the Ventures in his waning years, but lived long enough to see his band inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2008.

When I was a kid, I used to listen over and over and over again to the Ventures albums we had until I wore them out; Golden Greats was the first thing I bought with the very first money I ever earned. It's one of my Top Ten favorite albums.



Back in November I posted Sleepwalk.

RIP Bob Bogle

While you enjoy being with other people, you also value your alone time.

You like to reflect, think, and pick things apart. You like to study everything carefully.
