Earlier this year, I wrote about how I rescued a special recovery partition from an old Macintosh Performa 550’s dead hard drive. This partition had been lost to time and it was a race to try to save it before the remaining Performa 550 machines out there with their original hard drives were reformatted or destroyed. It has now been preserved on the Macintosh Garden. I have a few updates to that post that I’d like to share.| Downtown Doug Brown

In 1965, the musical film The Sound of Music, adapted from the Broadway play of the same name, appeared to huge international success. The film’s popularity led it to surpass Gone With the Wind as the biggest box office hit of all time, and reaffirmed the superstardom of singer-actress Julie Andrews. It also vaulted a hitherto unknown lead actor, Christopher Plummer, into the front rank of film actors. Unknown, that is, to mainstream film audiences. By 1965, Christopher Plummer was a well-k...| Biographics

In that way, it's well-suited to a non-Flintstonist campaign, as a way to introduce players to the concept that people in a medieval fantasy world might see things differently than they see things today - especially with players who are new to the idea of leaving their preconceived notions at the door when approaching the camp...| Tales of the Lunar Lands
When people ask what you do for a living, there are few answers you could give that would sound more impressive than “spymaster.” But that was exactly what William Stephenson did during World War II, as he was absolutely instrumental in establishing the UK’s intelligence network in North America and creating a tight-knit relationship between numerous different agencies from both sides of the Atlantic.

Much of the life of Albert Frederick Arthur George, called Bertie by family and friends, can be summed up in one word: unexpected. At the time of his birth, his father held the title Duke of York, later to ascend to the throne of the United Kingdom and Great Britain as King George V. Bertie was his second son, and thus was not expected to ascend to the throne; the heir apparent under George V was Bertie’s brother, who became King Edward VIII in 1936. Thus, it was his brother who was groomed...| Biographics
On StackExchange, someone asks why programmers talk about “calling” a function. Several possible allusions spring to mind: Calling a function is like calling on a friend — we go, we stay a while, we come back. Calling a function is like calling for a servant — a summoning to perform a task. Calling a function is like making a phone call — we ask a question and get an answer from outside ourselves. The true answer seems to be the middle one — “calling” as in “calling up, summ...| Arthur O’Dwyer

If there’s one thing Americans love, it’s an underdog story. And the story of a son of immigrant parents, raised in the rural backwoods of America, orphaned as a teenager, who not only rose to the heights of respectability, but to the very pinnacle of American politics, the Presidency? That is one of the all-time underdog stories. For Andrew Jackson, this wasn’t merely a story, however: this was the remarkable story of his own life. For many years, Andrew Jackson was considered among th...| Biographics
