My brother passed a few years ago. I was able to "memorialize" his Facebook account, or whatever they call that term. Found a link on their web site, uploaded a scanned copy of the death certificate, and within a day or so the t

Holy cow. I also worked at MDH Industries, for a few years starting in 1981 or so. That was also the first and only time I ever programming in Forth, doing embedded code for a new radiation calibration machine they were coming out with.

I'm in my sixties. I haven't been in a Howard Johnson's since I was a kid, but I distinctly remember the smell when walking into one, the smell of fried clams. It told me that we were on a vacation trip.

Circa 1975-976, as best as I can remember, a magazine (Popular Electronics maybe, or that other one?), had an article about building a Pong game, complete with extensive schematics. There was zero code involved. It was comprised of pretty
