Egon, but not forgotten - Harold Ramis

Former “Ghostbusters” star Harold Ramis died Feb. 24 at the age of 69. Ramis was many things — actor, writer, director and producer — but for many of us he will be remembered for one thing and one thing only, being Dr. Egon Spengler in “Ghostbusters.” However, Ramis has done so much more than act in the franchise we all know and love.

Many of the nominees in this year’s Best Picture category are high octane thrill rides (see American Hustle or Wolf of Wall Street). Nebraska, directed by Alexander Payne and starring Bruce Dern, is surely a change of pace in that regard.

Fly no more: The story of Flappy Bird

Borrowing a graphical style from the 80s and game mechanics from the 90s, Dong Nguyen had a seemingly overnight hit on his hands, but he let it go; leaving the over 50 million people who had already downloaded it to wonder, “Why?” Flappy Bird was created by one man and released for free on both iOS and Android, the two major smartphone operating systems.
