Thought this was interesting. A little gaming history intermixed with a bunch of other things.

High in the hills of Hawaii’s Big Island, Henk Rogers—best known for bringing Tetris to the world—is taking on a new kind of challenge: building a fully off-grid life. On his 32-acre Pu‛uwa‛awa‛a Ranch, he’s growing his own food, producing his own energy, and working to protect Hawaii’s future.

Yeah, this is the guy who negotiated with the Russian government to get Tetris onto the gameboy. After the Soviet Union disbanded he founded the Tetris Company with Alexey Pajitnov (the original creator).
