Pokémon Keyboard Won’t Catch All Your Typos
You might think this Pokemon keyboard design, which swaps out the letters with tiny pictures of Pokemon, is the least practical keyboard ever made.

Four Years Ago, I Watched Video Games Win
I have two stand-out Election Day video game memories. One involves Fable II. The other involves a highlight of my career: going to the Supreme Court on November 2, 2010, to see a gaming industry lawyer argue—successfully—that games deserve the protection of the First Amendment.
