Shortly after I got married we bought and Atari. Being two geeks, we played it — a lot. Enough so that when we got rid of it, we swore we’d never buy another system. A promise we have kept so far.

But recently my kids have been talking about classic video games and how fun they are. and then we saw WALL-E on Monday night and it had Pong in it.

All of this has gotten me nostalgic for those wonderfully pixelated sprites in classic video games. They’d make great little needlepoint. Sure enough, someone has a tutorial on how to make your own.

Go visit it and spend some time exploring her site, it’s tons of fun. And then go make a millipede for yourself.
