Fixing E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600 (neocomputer.org) If you’re reading this page, chances are that you’re already well aware that E.T. for the Atari 2600 is one of the most reviled games ever made. I never understood why. As a child, it was one of my favorite games. I still think it’s a good game. Apparently, I’m not alone.

Seattle–Bainbridge Ferry (wa100.dnr.wa.gov) The ferry ride from Seattle to Bainbridge Island is the busiest route in the State ferry system. Every year, more than 6 million people use this ferry as a convenient way to get from Seattle to the more rural areas west of Puget Sound. The ferry ride lets passengers take in sweeping views of downtown Seattle from Elliott Bay and maybe even see a porpoise or two. But the path of the ferry also follows one of the most well-hidden geologic features of the Seattle area: the Seattle Fault.
