The Tetris movie reminds me again how everything is about business people exploiting things. Let’s be honest. It’s a story about a guy who found a game at a trade show and sold it. (exciting)

What about the creative person who created that game and was living in the Soviet Union?

Ah, I forget. People admire how someone made a ton of money with the work of someone else.

The Verge · Henk Rogers on telling the real story of Tetris: ‘I have to set the record straight’By Andrew Webster

Got everything started, with some work. Motorcycles moved to summer storage. Mower & snowblower swapped & serviced. Plow removed from ATV & stored. Bicycles shuffled about. Time for lunch. #Tetris

Next up: service the '65 #GMC pickup. Motorcycles and #VW probably wait for another day as it's starting to rain.

And then there's the railcar. . .
