The Hampster Dance: A Trip Down Memory Lane

Do you remember the Hampster Dance?

The iconic website that took the internet by storm in 1999?

If you're feeling a wave of nostalgia, you're not alone.

The simple yet addictive animation of hamsters dancing to a catchy tune captured the hearts of millions and became a cultural phenomenon.

Here's a Friday Funday Cool Tip. Relive a simpler and innocent time on the internet.

https://youtu.be/WEH2fk0ONag?si=eYGK1z5tpRctKF0j

In 1999, the internet was a much different place.
Dial-up connections were the norm, and websites were still relatively simple.
The Hampster Dance, created by Canadian web developer Deidre LaCarte, was a perfect example of this early internet aesthetic.
The Hampster Dance was more than just a cute video.
It was a symbol of a more innocent time on the internet, a time before social media and the constant barrage of information.
It was a reminder that sometimes, the simplest things can bring us the most joy.

Blastar - OneCoolTip.com
Have you ever wondered what games shaped the mind of a tech billionaire? 

Have you ever wondered what Elon Musk was up to when he was just 12 years old? 

Here's a Cool Tip.  Play Blastar, a retro space shooter created by a 12-year-old Elon Musk! 

Dive into the pixelated past and experience the game that sparked a tech revolution.

But Blastar isn't just a relic of history – it's a surprisingly fun and addictive game! 

And yes, Elon Musk -- that Elon Musk of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter fame -- wrote this game when he was only 12 years old.

He even earned a published article with the code and $500 for his efforts.

Here's an article with more information about Elon and the Blastar game.

Friday Funday - OneCoolTip.com

If you're curious about early gaming or simply want a nostalgic thrill, grab your keyboard and prepare for alien annihilation.

Blastar

  • The objective of the game is simple – pilot your spaceship and destroy waves of enemy alien freighters before they unleash deadly "Status Beam Machines" on Earth.
  • Use your keyboard --- arrow keys to move and spacebar to fire ---  to maneuver your ship and blast enemies with lasers. 
  • Collect bonus points for destroying missiles and avoiding collisions.
Blastar is an easy to learn but challenging to master.
