Thanks to everyone, Sgeo especially, for all the work they've put into the project behind this episode's announcement. It wouldn't have happened without you! I'm in San Francisco on October 3rd for the Internet Archive's Annual Bash, and it'll be me and a top hat and lots of other fun announcements and the rest. If you visit and you're a podcast supporter, say hi.

A two-part episode about HarvardNet, the ISP I worked at for one year. Either nothing shocks you or it probably all shocks you. Either way: The Internet was a different thing 18 years ago.

Show notes

The Game Worlds Episode: Getting Ready to Explore, The Games I Love, Adventure, Ten Years of Destiny, Halo Forever, Car Without an Engine, Player Unknown: Introspections, The Dangerous Mechanism, No Man's Sky, Exploring Forever. Plus: The Sound of Taxes. Why have such a simple podcast if you can't try new things? I thought I'd go into a very ethereal and strange way of looking at technology and games. I'm not sure if I caught the feeling I wanted to give, but I gave it my best shot.

I have two episodes about Apple II subjects and then I think it's best to lay off the Apple II for a while. I do so many other things and have so much more to talk about! I also mention a visit to the Emergency Room, and this Patreon made it a cakewalk. Thanks again.

The User Group Episode Jul 01, 2018

Show notes

The User Group Episode: Mark's Childhood Flight Simulator, 48 hours, User Groups, RIAG, CACHE, Finding Cohorts, Emulation Casualties, The Darkest Outlook. Some thoughts on user groups and software, all based on a pretty good success story trying to find a flight simulator for a co-worker. All ending in a natural place: the inherent existential threat of technology.

Thanks everyone who has been supporting me this whole time, by the way. It's taken such a load off.
