A Degree or Experience?

Demise Of The Video Game Arcade
What a coincidence, I was thinking for the past week to write about my video game arcade experience when I was a teenager, then I stumbled on Wil Wheaton’s blog about the demise of the video game arcades.
I was in Puerto Rico at the time, between 1978 and 1980, when I was an arcade junky [...]
FreeSpire Linux & XGL
Wow!
Need I say more? I guess I should.
I have been using FreeSpire ever since it came out a few months ago and I haven’t tried another Linux OS since (although I have looked at PCBSD, I like what I saw there but it wasn’t enough to wean me out of FreeSpire.) To make matters even [...]

Norton Utilties for the Atari 8-bit
Continuing with the theme of my las post, I will now give my account of my adventures with my Atari 130XE 8-bit computer.
The Atari 8-bit was the first computer I owned. My mother bought it for me in 1984. This computer came equipped with 128-Kbytes of memory (which was 64-Kbytes more than the norm at [...]
My own ISP
I was looking over my resume today—which I haven’t kept up-to-date.
When I glanced over the part where I wrote about my adventures as a one man Internet Services Provider, I get a sense of wow come over me. I would never even bother with doing something like this today. Things have changed so much. You [...]
