I wouldn't blame you if you didn't know his name off the top of your head, since I didn't myself, but the man who essentially created the video games industry died today at the age of 92.  Ralph Baer designed the Magnavox Odyssey, the very first home video game console, and also created the classic memory game Simon to boot.  He was still working on new inventions into his 90s.  Without his start, we might not all be here today.  Thanks for filling who knows how many hours of my spare time. :yes:
