My tennis coach used to boast how, any woman he scored a date with, he took to Jack In The Box, specifically, the drive-thru window, via his Honda GoldWing.
He made it apparent — I was just 10 or 12 years old, then — that this exercise had been repeated times innumerable; the point was never to impress, nor to anger (nor to bed, I now imagine), but rather, to suss out that special lass capable of enjoying his company on a longer-term basis.
Computer afficionados seeking similarly high-risk/reward romance should consider an evening spent soldering His N’ Hers’ GameBoy lightshields, including a requisite trip to RadioShack for white LED #276-320 . (Both ours work dandily.)
For that unlikely second date, keep your eye on portablemonopoly.com — they’re promising retrofit-kits that’ll backlight existing GBA’s.
And as for the games… here’s a piece I recently wrote for WIRED magazine.
