Startup Plex Systems has a pinball arcade complete with its own pinball wizard, Michael McDonald.

How cool is that?

McDonald is one of the founding members of the Detroit Pinball League and co-organizer of something called the Michigan Pinball Expo. He's won a few tournaments, too.

When not playing, McDonald is a developer working on the company's cloud-based ERP app.

Michigan-based Plex recently lured Jason Blessing to be its new CEO. Blessing is a former PeopleSoft and Taleo exec who escaped the clutches of Oracle, twice, when each of his employers was acquired.

Blessing jumped at the CEO job back in his home state. But he says his favorite thing about his new company is the pinball arcade.
