I Put Build the Wall on the Arcade Cabinet

The White House has an arcade now.

An actual arcade. On the actual White House website.

It's at whitehouse.gov/arcade.

I named this thing Oval Arcade a few weeks ago, so this has been a strange week.

One of the games was a Tetris-style thing called Build the Wall.

Then Tetris found out.

They were not involved. They take copyright infringement very seriously. They said so.

Build the Wall disappeared.

Which seemed like a shame.

So I put it on the arcade cabinet.

I Finally Did It

Five to ten hours.

That's how much time I said I was going to spend on this every week.

This week I actually came close.

I didn't add a pile of new objects. I retuned a few things. I still shipped a video game.

In my defense, the White House started it.

Except for the Laptop

There's been a Telikin sitting on the Resolute Desk this whole time.

If you don't know what a Telikin is, that's okay.

The President does.

I've had an idea for a Presidential Edition for a while, and this week I started figuring out what it should actually do.

The idea has gotten completely out of hand.

This won't be another thing you click and get a joke. It's probably going to be one of the most complicated interactions in the room.

It may take a couple of weeks.

I'm not going to explain it yet.

A lot of very large technology companies are involved.

They don't know that yet.

That's It

That's pretty much all I did this week.

Five to ten hours.

I could get used to this.

Although I did spend part of Saturday making the windows do something.

So maybe don't hold me to it.
