A very happy birthday to PacMan… the friendly yellow gobbler. I love PacMan. Today –to commemorate the 30th birthday of PacMan– Google put a playable PacMan logo/game online. Sooo cool…. You can play it on the google website. Here’s a screenshot. When you leave PacMan in the shown position the ghost will never catch him… small bug?
I already mentioned the upcoming birthday of PacMan before. Click on the screenshot below to play Google PacMan.
Another rock legend bites the dust… On the 16th of May Ronnie James Dio passed away at the age of 67. Rest in peace. His wife Wendy Galaxiola posted following notice on the website of Ronnie James Dio

Whahahaha.. brilliant. Rop Gonggrijp is at it again. Together with some researchers he like totally p0wnez Indian voting machines. Rop already demonstrated that dutch voting machines are inherently unsafe. Check the site “Wij vertrouwen stemcomputers niet” (English). That is the reason why we (again) vote with red pencil and paper in the Netherlands. Now in India they will probably do the same thing. Looking for a career change? How about manufacturing red pencils… India will need a couple anytime soon. Here’s a cool video that can also be found on Rop’s site.
Oh this is good news for those who embrace web standards: the usage of Internet Explorer is on its decline. Sure the current marketshare –at just below 60%– is still way too large but at least it is on its decline. Surprisingly (at least to me) is that Google’s Chrome is the big winner and not Mozilla’s Firefox. Anyway… less IE means better future for web developers who are getting really fed up with the lack of conformity in IE. Maybe the decline will force for Microsoft to actually support standards instead of setting their own standards?
