Happy birthday, Tetris!

25 years of providing hours of entertainment and relief from officialdom and boredom – thanks, tetris. The mark of a productive day at work? Closing your eyes at the end of the day to see block after colorful block of tetris fall in front of you, against a black sleepy background. Long ago, a friend watched me play tetris, after a few minutes of silent observation, she says – it’s a bit like life, right? you never win in this game. you just keep playing till the end… Depressing thought. But everything is not about winning, what?

And google pays tribute to it. Go, Tetris!
