It'd be great to also upload a tar.gz or something to the internet archive as well.

I truly felt in some areas, especially the South Coast, that we had accidentally driven off the continental shelf and ended up on the bottom of the sea.

We just spent some time in Iceland this past year. I hadn't really realized it but Iceland pretty much didn't even have a formal tourist industry until sometime in the early 2000s mostly due to volcanic eruptions disrupting transa

I bought Doom and Quake (and several map packs) of course. But my real treasure trove was a deal on a bunch of early id Software produced Softdisk distributed games. It included some FPS games that are almost entirely unknown these days and

Just to note, most of the underground stations on the Washington D.C. metro system are bare concrete. The way the stations are constructed, using a low barrier wall, discourages people from touching the main station walls. The low light kin

I was going to say something similar, I think I had the same cheap Jansport pack from the mid-80s until well into college. Replaced it with another <$25 pack from Costco that I've kept until now. The main difference has been the inc

I worked for an eary/mid-90s mom-n-pop ISP started out of a spare closet of another business. Every customer was sent two 1.44 MB 3.5" floppies (which I also had the pleasure of having to duplicate), with Netscape, Eudora, and Tru

What a world it would have been if the MSX had made it in the U.S. There's an interview somewhere with Jack Trameil talking about how his plan to keep the MSX out of the U.S. and parts of Europe was to just undercut the hell out of the

I believe the MSX 2 or 2+ added hardware support for scrolling which made many games much better. It's weird playing old MSX-1 games and having the background lurch across the screen while single-color sprites move around in offset smo

I loved this show as a kid. It did a great job at encouraging open ended imagination using drawing as a medium. I thought it had been lost to time and never knew anybody else who remembered it. Found a YouTube archive of most of the episode

I'm married to a Korean and we've spent a bit of time there off and on. I've studied up on ancient to modern Korean history and have a better than normal understanding of cultural norms. My language skills are sadly still a m

Was just discussing this with a younger colleague this past week. I think the conclusion we came to is that: a) GUI programming (for the web) is hard because the core technical stack that's made up of browsers, html, js, and css is abh

Google used to ask scaling questions about youtube for some positions. They often ended up in some big-O line of questions about syncing log-data across a growing an distributed infrastructure. The result was some ridiculous big-O(f(n)) whe

Great comment. IBM is as IBM wants to be. I don't think there's a mystery to it and they've ended up on an evolutionary path that can't be reversed. To wit, I just watched a long form video [1] on the passion that goes i

Lost to time was the short-lived Nissan Axxess which was basically a proto-minivan with the benefits of two sliding doors. It has a surprisingly interesting import history and was a great vehicle. (disclaimer, my family had one) https:&#

I'm on the other end of this in a way. I think it may come from having to read and write all day every day. Sometimes just having somebody yak at me for a few minutes is useful. I really enjoy watching instructional videos, especially
