Pre-posted in advance cause once again working through the weekend.
- BBSes: Partying Online Like It’s 1989. (via)
- The 25th Interactive Fiction Competition is Open.
- After Dark has been ported to Twitter.
- Text Rendering Hates You. (via)
- A computer built from NOR gates: inside the Apollo Guidance Computer. Wonderful pictures, as always.
- Feast of Legends. A RPG from the Wendy’s fast food chain. It’s a legit PDF rulebook, and looks like a D&D-style product, but everything is themed to match Wendy’s food. It’s bizarre. (via)
- This to That, answering how to glue two different substances together. Really! (via)
- Media Accounting 101: Appholes and Contracts, a long read about reading.
- Springer’s History of Computing series. Seriously in-depth; this is research, not light entertainment. (via)
- How to remove a part of a video using ffmpeg.
- “Night of the Lepus” was based on a book? Excellent use of the interrobang, and also you should see this movie.
- Reminiscences on 5.25″ floppy drives of the early 1980’s.
Your unrelated video link of the week: Scratch. I saw this in the theater a while ago, and I didn’t realize the whole thing was on Youtube. It’s turntablism at its peak. (via)
