1:45AM Kit Eaton | Pong exerts a vicious grip on the minds of designers—it pops up in hundreds of reincarnations. But this one is sweet: a live “drawing on whiteboard” version, mixing electronics with the joy of drawing on, wiping off and repositioning your playing bat.

We’ve always wondered how the local coffee shop writes their menu so neatly. Now we know…though we retain our suspicions of gnome activity (who, incidentally, plan to take over the world after they obliterate man through 1,200 calorie coffee drinks).
