It involves a young man, the SAGE computer system and network, keeping the radar operational, and my parents meeting each other at the dairy bar near the Air Force base.

An audio/visual poem celebrating the VM/CMS family of IBM virtual machine operating systems of 1972

This is a tribute to one of my favorite videos. Video qualities, outfits, mannerisms, and cadence of the words. If it is too much, just forward to 7:14 for a less dense experience, and finally, forward to 26:35 to enjoy the original video.

The Incredible True Facts of Space (TITFOS)

The Incredible True Facts of Space talks about Lego's X factor, and miniature golf game of Pac Van, where ghosts are chasing a yellow van, pop tarts flavors,  thrust of gameplay after destroying most of the asteroids in asteroids, how about a dipstick to measure happiness, blossom hosting Jeopardy, Lego set building a little bit at a time on a card table downstairs, the old mechanical chimes in the hallway stopped working, not happy with sound of new doorbell, slot car fever is an expensive madness, we will not be fooled again, by the Frakis Frakis of no's and no-ways.
