In another life, I went to UC Santa Cruz. I lived in a geek house. I went to Resort Parties. I went to raves (before they were called parties) that were disturbingly like Greg Harrison's Groove (the movie, that is). In fact, I even slept in Greg's garage. A lot. It was, dear readers, a time where there was (gasp) NO WORLDWIDE WEB. We had to team up to buy bandwidth from the university because there were no ISPs! I used a 2400 baud modem to dial in! Why, in my day, we used BEIGE PLASTIC TERMINALS WITH GREEN SCREENS to read our email! And we used GOPHER and cryptic COMMAND LINE INTERFACES! And we liked it! Attachments? Ha ha ha! What attachments! I'm ashamed to admit I still use unix "mail" to read my email. Don't send me attachments.

Anyway. I digress.

When I lived in Santa Cruz I had a friend by the name of David Van Brink. I should say, I still have this friend. He rules. He is not human. He is more like a being sent from planet Kraftwerk to teach humans about the value of sine waves, ominos and the varied uses of LEDs. I love him. Today he sent me a link to a revived piece of geek history, a silent 8mm black and white movie that Ford (who now goes by the name of Lawrence) and Doug made in the server room at SCO about seven years ago. David digitized it and added sound effects and music. It's now a totally different movie. It's a 12MB Quicktime. Watch it.
