  1. "I definitely think that FM radio will become a very Important factor in communications. Instead of using the phone lines, you’re going to be able to use the FM airwaves. You’ll be able to transmit a lot of information from computer to computer. You’re going to be able to transport software through FM radio."

  2. Much of what #JohnSculley (then CEO of #Apple) predicted in 1987 became true.

    > The problem is the growth of information […] So the ultimate aim of computers will not be to create more information. We need the ability to navigate in real time across vast expanses of information. […] Information is an interim step to the ultimate goal of knowledge.

  8. ECCENTRIC ORBITS is a 2016 book. Here's a talk about it at Google by author John Bloom : youtube.com/watch?v=6r9tAbaiXSg

    Horror fans will recognize him under his pseudonym Joe Bob Briggs, which he uses to host The Last Drive-In on Shudder. I think it's fun to see him in serious-journalist mode!

  9. Some good Monday wake up music, a band I just discovered the other day -- Barren Womb. They have a new album coming out in February, and this one is from 2020. It SMOKES.

    I don't even know what to compare it to. They call it 'doomsday rock' - I might hear some Helmet or Fugazi or something, I dunno. Refused? Clutch? It's great, dynamic, fun, loud, catchy-- GREAT all the way through. And one of the coolest riffs might be in the last few seconds of the album!

  10. Mike Nichols – „Hautnah“ (2004)

    Mike Nichols („Die Reifeprüfung“ 1967) hat mit diesem Kammerspiel über vier Menschen, die lieben, begehren, lügen und zerstören, ein Stück von der Bühne in einen der unangenehmsten und zugleich wirkungsvollsten Filme über intime Beziehungen konvertiert, den ich kenne. Kein romantisches Drama, sondern eine Studie über Macht, Verletzlichkeit und den Versuch, durch Nähe Kontrolle zu erlangen. Oder Liebe zu erzwingen. (3Sat)
