More than you wanted to know about how Game Boy cartridges work By Allison Parrish I set out a while ago to make a Game Boy cartridge from scratch.

Earthquakes are a constant threat to communities around the globe. While we’ve gotten good at knowing where they’re likely to strike, we still face devastating consequences when they do.
