Aww, he skipped 8-tracks and cassettes? I loved 8-tracks, and tolerated cassettes!

My son came upstairs the other day after poking around in the workshop downstairs… “Dad, what music is on these big black cd’s?” whilst holding a pile of my LP’s

After 40 years, his booty probably isn’t all that fresh anymore…

Many Party DJ’s still use vinyl records. That’s one reason that 33 1/3 LP’s are still made and sold.

Ever wonder where the term “Record Album” comes from? It comes from the fact that when 78 rpm records were in their prime, one song or part of a song took a whole side of a record, so to get a bunch of songs or a long symphony out, they put the records in a book of sleeves called an album. When 33.3 rpm came out, you could fit roughly 10 times the music on a record, so a whole album of songs could be saved on one Long Play (LP) record.

Atari BASIC was my first programming language, not counting a brief false start on the Imsai. I think I was 7 or 8, and my parents (in a rather brilliant move of parenting that I intend to copy) restricted me to 30 minutes a day of video games, but I could spend as long as I wanted to on the computer if I was writing programs. So eventually I started writing video games, thus blurring the line.

At some point I taught myself Atari Pilot as well, a language nobody remembers, and the only one I’ve ever seen whose graphics modes have (0,0) at the center of the screen.

Neither language is on my current resume.
