Play Pac Man Courtesy of Google

A little bored today at work?  Shhh.  Don't let the boss see.

Let Google brighten your day with this playable Google Pac Man Doodle

This Google originally came online in May of 2010. Millions of productive man hours were lost courtesy of Google's addictive game that appeared on the main screen for millions of users.

To play:

When the game starts, use the keyboard Up, Down, Left and Right keys to move Pac Man around the maze.  The objective is to remove all dots and power pellets without be caught.  Avoid the Ghosts, Blink (Red), Inky (Cyan), Pinky (Pink) and Clyde (Yellow).  Eat Power Pellets to energize and eat the ghosts.  Eat the fruit to score extra points.

Fortunately, there's a mute sound button!

For a flashback, enjoy listening to Pac Man Fever song on YouTube!

Enjoy!

AP Releases Historical Video Footage on YouTube

The Internet is amazing.

And the latest amazing feat is Associated Press' roll-out of historical video footage from the past 100 years that is now available on its YouTube site:  AP Archive .  

As part of this project, AP has also released footage from the British Movietone archive on its own channel.

Everything from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, to the Hindenburg disaster, to the Los Angeles Watts Riots.

The footage (no sound) from the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor is especially unique with many scenes of destruction not generally seen.

For all of the trouble that people create with the Internet, this treasure trove of historical information is certainly a bright spot.  It is truly a remarkable educational resource.  Available for all to view.

Use Your iPhone Headphones to Take Photos

Smart phones with cameras allow us to take great photos wherever we are.

It can be disappointing tho when they are blurry.  This can happen when we are holding the phone and then physically press the screen to take the photo. Bump Sump Sump.  Blur Blur Blur.

A great way to take steady photos on an iPhone is to use the headphones or bluetooth headset to snap a photo.

This prevents that physical bump against the camera that can blur the photos.

With the camera app open, press the "Volume up" key + to snap a photo.  This acts as a shutter release.

If you have a tripod mount for your iPhone (many selfie sticks can connect to a traditional Tripod), you can get very steady photos.

Or if your phone is just placed strategically on a table to get a group photo.

You can also hold the iPhone in one hand and have the headphone or bluetooth headset in the other to take the photo.

Just press the button to get that perfect photo.
