Commodore 64 returns!

And by that, I mean some company with the Commodore brand returns to release new computer-in-a-keyboards. These new ones will run on Windows 7 and Ubuntu.

I'd buy one in a heart beat if I could hook them up to our old 1541 floppy disk drive. Heck, I'd probably still buy one of these things if I could finally play Steam games on them. This computer I'm on now is nice but it's ancient. Seven years is a long time in the computer world.

(Hint hint! Upcoming Christmas? Eh, you guys are cheapskates.)

Tork's Film of the Month!




Recently I bought this documentary about text adventure games. Basically some guy interviewed a bunch of nerds responsible for a long forgotten computer game genre. It was forty bucks and I figured what the hey. So far I'm still on the first DVD and the best part was about the rise and fall of Infocom, the most famous of "interactive fiction" game makers.

Lisa Simpson broke off her marriage today.


According to the episode Lisa's Wedding.

This show really is going to outlast us, isn't it? I'm thinking of having children just so someone with my DNA can see the final Simpson episode.
