“BBS: The Documentary” is a 7 episode series about all aspects of the history of the dial-up Bulletin Board System, or BBS. 3 years in the making and the result of over 200 interviews, this collection puts in one convenient package a sense of the variety and wide-reaching effects of the BBS phenomenon. All in all, over seven and a half hours of material is included across the three region-free DVDs.

While running around Alameda, I came across this car show on Park street. They had quite a number of nice tricked out vintage cars. Some new cars too, but they just seemed out of place. It’s amazing how much time and care people put into these things. Whenever I come across these it reminds me that the modding and hacking done by us computer geeks isn’t all that new. These guys have been modding since the early 50’s. Personally I thought the Radio Flyer car was the best. 🙂
WordPress just released a security patch/upgrade for their blogging system. (Which happens to power this site grin ) I’ve already patched my system, and it only took about 5 minutes. I love this framework.
