This is nearly a week late but Pac-Man overshadowed much of the week with an awesome tribute from Google.  We almost forgot that the very best of the Star Wars movies had a monumental birthday last week as well.  Yes, the Empire Strikes Back turned thirty.

Update: more detailed story from the Seattle Times at this link.  Seriously, there [...]
