While walking around Denver, this guy noticed a building that had several broken windows.  As he continued to stare at this building he noticed that the broken windows were in the shapes of tetrominoes. 

I don't like vandals as much as the next guy, but at least it's Tetris creative.

Update:  Turns out the Tetris Vandalism photo is a fake.  Over at Kotaku, they have posted real photos of the vandalized building.  [via digg]

Over at Kottke, you can view the 2004 BBC documentary about the story of Tetris:

The following is a great 2004 BBC documentary about Tetris, the man who created it, and the lengths that several companies went to in order to procure the rights to distribute it. Tetris - From Russia With Love:

Alexey Pazhitnov, a computer programmer from Moscow, created Tetris in 1985 but as the Soviet Union was Communist and all, the state owned the game and any rights to it. Who procured the rights from whom on the other side of the Iron Curtain became the basis of legal wranglings and lawsuits; the Atari/Nintendo battle over Tetris wasn't settled until 1993. There's an abbreviated version of the story, but the documentary is a lot more fun. A rare copy of the Tengen version of Tetris, which was pulled from the shelves due to legal troubles, is available on eBay for $50.

It's finally getting hot again in south Minneapolis and you know what that means: gang graffiti, open air drug sales, prositution, and ice cream!

Yes, the musical armada has once again been released on our little neighborhood.  The cacophony on a hot day here can just about drive a person crazy, but today something interesting doppler shifted it's  little soft-serve wagon up my block and it had the kids coming out of the woodwork.

I was too slow to get a recording, but there's now an ice cream truck driving around playing your favorite 8-bit Tetris tune.

Now, I know the Tetris song is an old russian folk tune, but I'm sure the ice cream dealer is using it because it elicits all those ice-cream-compatible, happy video game emotions.  I sort-of hope somebody will ignore all those pesky copyright issues and start wheeling around a super mario tune.

This all got me to thinking about the magic of ice cream truck music.  Luckily, I'm not the first, so I can provide a few links.  Music Thing had a cool article about what makes ice cream trucks sound the way they do.  Here are some links to ice cream truck music: ambient sounds and 3 great ice cream tunes.  Finally, here's where the classic ice cream song came from: Turkey In The Straw.
