Mario and the Rio Olympics

Well, Mario came out of a giant pipe and made a stunning appearance at the closing ceremony of this year's Olympics. Naturally, this was to help "announce" the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Brawl!

Super Smash Brothers Brawl became available for preorder today (it comes out in early December), and I just preordered it and Super Mario Galaxy. The goods and I will both arrive in Pasadena around early to mid December. (The package may beat me by a week, but we'll see.)

I really enjoy kicking ass as Jigglypuff! :)

"Real" 1up Mushrooms

I was looking for clip-art of 1up shrooms for a talk I'll be giving at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in January and I encountered this awesome April Fool's prank from last year. Very nice!
