Computer Chronicles was a TV show that aired on the U.S. west coast for twenty years starting in 1981. The Internet Archive is currently hosting all (?) episodes of the series; a full list can be seen here.
My favorite episodes are generally the special reports from COMDEX (Computer Dealers' Exhibition), a now-defunct computer trade show held each fall in Las Vegas from 1979 to 2003 (a spin-off COMDEX/Spring debuted in 1981). The CES (computer Electronics Show) and MacWorld Expo episodes are great, too. Anyone interested in retro tech or the historical timeline of personal computing should appreciate these videos. Each one is about ~28 minutes runtime.

QBoy (b. Marcos Brito on 10 October 1978 in Basildon, Essex) is a UK-based rapper, DJ, writer and presenter. One of only a few openly gay rappers in hip-hop, he is part of the new sub-genre colloquially known as "homo hop".
Yikes… colloquialism, or not, they really need to revisit the drawing board with that term.

Not too shabby for a slogan. :)
|
The men’s and women’s rugby union teams at Swarthmore College engage in a streaking fundraiser each semester known as the “Dash for Cash”, in which the team members run naked through Parrish Hall, the main administration building. Spectators are expected to bring money, which the streakers grab from their hands as they run by. The activity has been known to catch bystanders unawares, despite heavy publicity featuring the slogan, “Bring money, or you’re a pervert.”

Title track from K Records EP. I like this song a lot, but the "Lunar Camel" cover is perhaps my favorite.

Greetings, Website Engineers!
I’m Sweet Marco. My Caribbean Gay Lifestyle Association is looking for two or three good, understanding web developers ASAP. I need a lifestyle website and NOT a porn site.
Travel may be involved (or work from home- we’re flexible) but we pay for everything and the accommodations are 1st class. See the world and make a few bucks :-)
Pay will work out to approx. $300-$550 per day and we have many friends who need sites, so employment can be permanent or temporary. Call me, “Sweet Marco” to set up an interview and talk details.
Call us at Roatan Sales and Rentals (Google us), our “straight” business. Ask for “Feya Delzie” or “Sweet Marco.”
011-504-445-4171
e-mail: djackson@metro-red.hn Please put "attn: Sweet Marco" in subject.
Thank you and PEACE!
Sweet Marco Rosales

Why Grammar is the First Casualty of War
|
|
by Terry Jones
|
WHAT really alarms me about President Bush's "war on terrorism" is the grammar. How do you wage war on an abstract noun? It's rather like bombing murder.
Imagine if Bush had said: "We're going to bomb murder wherever it lurks. We are going to seek out the murderers and the would-be murderers, and bomb any government that harbors murderers."
