+ Vintage Computer Festival: VCF East 6.0 is scheduled for September 12 & 13 at the InfoAge Science Center in Wall, NJ. InfoAge is located on the grounds of the historic Camp Evans, a geek paradise.
+ I want to go to there: Retro Arcade Museum, Beacon NY. While the collection of retro cabinet games is impressive, they also have displays of historic console games and early handheld games.
+ The site is Flash-heavy and somewhat annoying to navigate, but the Panasonic Design Museum provides a nice overview of some of their products, including the Radio Toot A Loop from 1972 (featured on the front page of the site).
+ Panasonic would benefit from browsing the IBM Archives, a fine example of how to display company history online. Besides online exhibits of products through the years, there's the history of IBM Music including sound clips of their anthems and rally songs(!), and a PDF of the official Songs of the IBM. Also includes exhibits of the IBM plants in Brooklyn, Rochester, Endicott, and Tuscon. There's even a photo album of IBM Attire through the years! (Pictured here: IBM Card-Programmed Electronic Calculator.)
