Pacman Returns
Google recently posted an interactive Pacman Doodle on its Home page on the occasion of 30th anniversary of Pacman. Unlike other doodles this was kept online for 48 hours and a large number of searchers forgot their original intent and spent the rest of day playing the Pacman. This was the first doodle that they wished if it could stay forever. But after 48 hours it was removed... alas!!
Did you miss the opportunity to play that? Or are you missing if after being taken down? Here is the good news!!! Pacman is back on its own page at Google at google.com/pacman
Don't miss it!!!
Interactive Pacman Doodle at Google
On special occasions Google places, on its main page, a special Google logo for the occasion, clicking on which opens a result page with search query closely related to the occasion. Today when PacMan, a game that most of us have played many a times, celebrates it’s 30th anniversary, the logo is little different in that you can actually play Pacman by clicking on it.
So what are you waiting for? Open Google and relive your childhood. As soon as the Game is over, the result search page for query “PAC-Man 30th Anniversary” opens up. I am sure you are then going to press the “Back” button on your browser to start playing again!!
Who Moved My Cheese?
I had heard a lot about this book “Who Moved My Cheese?” but never got to read it. Recently while going through all the books in the Library at work, I found this one unexpectedly. I was surprised by the size of the book. So the books, a lot talked about, had less than 100 pages!!! Out of the two books that I selected this one was the first that I decided to read and I think I finished within two hours! After all It’s a book that once someone starts to read cannot leave without completing it.
This book deals with how to deal with changes, changes in our professional life or in personal life, a subject that many other books have covered with many taking up much more pages than this one. So, what makes this books so special? It’s just that this book doesn’t teach how to deal with changes, but just tells a story, a story that will make you smile, and laugh on how it in some parts relate to your own life. That’s it!!!
It’s a story of two mice ‘Sniff’ and ‘Scurry’ and two littleman, with size comparable to that of mice, named ‘Hem’ and ‘Haw’. At cheese station ‘C’ they get to eat all the cheese they can and thus life is running smoothly until one day when they find no cheese left at cheese station ‘C’. While the mice realizing that there is no cheese left move ahead to find cheese somewhere else, the littlemen, being man who can think, are more into discussing things and avoiding moving out. The rest of the story tells how they suffered, and how one of them finally moved out and succeeded and what lessons he learnt in his quest of New cheese.
While reading the book each reader can relate the characters and happenings with himself and thing happening around him. Say, for example even though the book was written in late nineties, one can feel the recent recession and slowdown in between, and how a person affected by it could think.
"Why should we change?" Hem asked. "We're littlepeople. We're special. This
sort of thing should not happen to us. Or if it does, we should at least get some benefits."
"Why should we get benefits?" Haw asked.
"Because we're entitled," Hem claimed.
"Entitled to what?" Haw wanted to know.
"We're entitled to our Cheese."
"Why?" Haw asked.
"Because, we didn't cause this problem," Hem said. "Somebody else did this and
we should get something out of it."
If I am not the last person to read this book, would recommend this book to everyone else!
