After giving the matter some thought, I have decided that I’ve become unsuited to the low art of writing newspaper columns any longer. My deficiencies to participate in the current conversation are many. For one thing, I have never listened to a podcast. I prefer reading things, a more efficient way to gather and retain information.
Early video game aficionados may or my not know that “Pac Man” had an official ending/ non-ending. After mastering 255 levels of “Waka Waka,” players noticed the game experienced a glitch due to technology limitations at the 256th level. That’s when Mr. Pac-Man can go no more.
