Part of my low-key recent birthday was watching a mid-afternoon movie. I wanted to watch one of my favorites, and ended up choosing ‘Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back’, a classic I saw in theaters 35 years ago and dozens of times since.

The NCAA Finals are on and Duke is slowly making its way to another championship. (Duke Class of ’86…) Shazam and Coke Zero teamed up to use music and an app to do some advertising magic. It was, in fact, kinda cool.
One of the funniest and most quirky indie games I have played in recent years was Legend of Dungeon, which was cute and punishing all at once.

Its Pixelpoint tip is the most precise tip on the market, and it provides an almost pen and paper feel.

I’m not the greatest at keeping tabs on the things I do at the gym, and I’m even worse at tracking my performance.
