    Huzzah! Heres to Ralph and the Brown Box.

    It could also be said Ralph Baer has allowed us to breathe easier, what with releasing all that O2.

    That bad joke is for you Ralph!

    I don't associate Ralph Baer so much with video games as I do with engineering, innovation, and hard work. I have little idea what the man is truly like, but to me Baer's a great human being.

    No, I meant before. She died on the morning of February 10 and he received the award on Feb 13. I spoke to him on the 8th and he told me she went into the hospital and the prognosis wasn't good. Then when I saw the photos, I figured everything was ok. It wasn't until I called him on Feb 18, that I learned about his wife from his daughter.
