I found out about CKAN by accident (which is Python based). It turns out that there is an attempt to normalize open data offered by govts and others. Here is the official showcase (which includes poor links to govt open data portals in CA, US, UK, SG, NL, AU, DK, RO, FR). It appears that DataPortals.org tracks all the open data portals much better.
Freddie DeBoer writes some strong fan opinions about Star Wars psychology and missed opportunities.
Wes Studi was interviewed by Unreserved back in 2019 and he had some strong opinions about Westerns and USian mythology building (~28').
I recently found out (again?) about DOSBox. It appears that Internet Archive has a whole archive of DOS games (7300+). Among them, some favorites of mine (or redo's): Tetris (1987), Broderbund's Wings of Fury (1989), Mega Phoenix (1992), Galaga (1994).
I recently found out from wikipedia's main page that before Pong (1972) there was Computer Space (1971). Interesting details can be found here: computerspacefan.com, marvin3m.com, retrochallenge, schematics.
M swears that it looks a lot like Asteroids (1979) and it seems that the latter was inspired by the former (along with influences from 1962 Spacewar! and my personal favorite, 1978 Space Invaders).
