Pretty happy with how this turned out, and this is my first time messing with complex angles. If you are going to BrickWorld be sure to stop by and check this and my other creations out. I have more photos to upload, but they are not edited.
Big thanks to my dad for editing the photos.

Well I received an Atari 2600 for Christmas, so I'm going to try and make it out of Legos, and I decided to start with the controller. I think it turned out really well.

Back in 1990, when i was 13, my father gave me an Atari 800 xl. This is a (very) Basic program I made using the highest graphical capacity of 300x190 px.
In a tv, the output seems to have pixels in white, red and blue, but the graphic is actually made in just one color.
And see the video here.
I'm teaching my daughter to play Go. I personally prefer Go to Chess; it's rules are simpler but the game is no less complex.
In composing this image, I struggled to find a way to make the flat game board look less..well...flat. In the end, I decided to make the image with my widest (17mm) lens positioned at its minimum focusing distance of 11 inches from the nearest stones. Going wide certainly exaggerated the proportions of the subject and gave it a more three dimensional quality, but it added an interesting complication. I strongly prefer simple images with uncluttered backgrounds, but despite the closeness of the subject, my wide angle lens saw just about everything in my cluttered living room. To keep the background dark I laid about 100 square feet of black drop cloth on the floor and boomed my key light (a 24 inch softbox) very close directly above the the subject to maximize light falloff away from the subject.
I've written more about how lens focal length affects the look of backgrounds in this blog entry.

This entire 1982 gaming magazine is asking to be scanned, there's a whole section comparing all the systems (Atari, Intellivision, Odyssey2, Astrocade (?) and the nascent Colecovision.
Despite the ad copy, Vectrex was never on anyone's radar, although the concept of a portable vector-based system seems pretty cool in retrospect.
The extreme excitement portrayed by the people in this in ad borders on mania. However, it still has resonance, my 7 year old saw this ad and asked me why everyone was looking at each other and not the game. Good point.
