+ I suppose this is the true sign that I was a teen of the 80s, saw Back to the Future twice in the theater (and once at the drive-in), watched it countless times on cable, and still stop to watch it when I stumble upon it. I still think it would be cool to have a DeLorean. Now, the "Delorean Motor Company" - no relation to the original DMC - offers custom built cars starting around $57,000, or pre-owned models for (somewhat) lower prices, in various conditions. No word if they are powered by flux capacitor or Mr. Fission.
+ Interested in computer gaming history? Check out this article that appeared in Rolling Stone, December 1972, about the creation of SPACEWAR! and use of computers for gaming. It was written by Stewart Brand, who went on to co-found WELL (Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link). Check out those amazingly long-haired computer hippies.
+ Eco-friendly lawnmowing and brush clearing: Rent-a-ruminant! (Goats to you non-farm types.) A John Deere probably never elicites "awwww" of cuteness!
+ If you like film noir, check out the Film Noir Archive at archive.org. It currently has about 40 full length films available for streaming or download, some that aren't even available on DVD. While you're there, poke around the rest of archive.org, including their very impressive Live Music Archive (which has a large Warren Zevon collection).
