  1. This week's Retro Scan: Kickle Cubicle blows in. http://tinyurl.com/y8qrdbs
  2. I hear rumblings of CES. I have it big across my calendar because that's a time when a history fella like me gets drowned out in the din.
  3. Experimenting with streaming media to the PS3. Works pretty well. After that, it's time for some long-delayed house maintenance.
  4. More Benj on Macworld -- Apple's Five Most Important Printers: http://tinyurl.com/y8gxksp A slideshow too: http://tinyurl.com/y9s3noa
  5. @harrymccracken I use Thunderbird 2 all the time. Didn't know there was a v3. I'll have to check it out.
  6. @TroyGoodfellow They're ghosts, my friend. Ghosts of recordings past.
  7. We in the media love to use semi-arbitrary numerical time units as an excuse to get people to read us. I'm guilty too. Sure is fun though.
  8. Decade retrospectives are popping up everywhere now. For some reason I didn't realize a decade was ending until the media reminded me.
  9. This week's Retro Scan celebrates the Milton-Bradley Microvision, the first handheld game system (now 30yrsold). http://tinyurl.com/yelvb4g
  10. My "30 Years of Handheld Game Systems" is up now on PC World: http://www.pcworld.com/article/183679/30_years_of_handheld_game_systems.html
  11. It's kinda sad that I only use my Wii to play 20 year old games.
  12. Why do I feel less manly every time I use a smiley emoticon?
  13. @Aszurom Cheap stuff -- looks like wood, feels like plastic. The kind you can buy on a writer's income. :)
  14. Just pulled up some baseboard in preparation for laminate flooring. Secret underground computer laboratory on indefinite hiatus.
  15. Retro Scan of the Week: Interfacing with Women -- http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/613
  16. @harrymccracken Google was watching. (We need an emoticon for ominous evil whisper.)
  17. Ye Olde Vintage Computer Gift Guide - http://www.pcworld.com/article/183101/ye_olde_vintage_computer_gift_guide.html
  18. Happy Thanksgiving! Time to prepare for family gaming.
  19. Just read this line in a book: "There are few places more uncomfortable than Boston, MA, in August." How about every city south of there?
  20. Received old magazines in the mail today. Sender covered boxes with 100+ stamps from 1960s-70s, some like this: http://tinyurl.com/ybdff6v
