John is in San Francisco right now and on his first morning there he stared a little too long at a car-jacker and got a gun flashed at him, impressive. It’s like something straight out of a country-boy-goes-to-experience-the-big-city movie. I wonder if he found out whether In and Out Burger serve coddle. :)
Check out this episode of “The Computer Chronicles” from 1984 where they talk about the new and exciting field of computer games. Near the end Ireland gets a mention when they’re doing a brief piece about third world countries poaching jobs from Silicon Valley. The upcoming 286 chip also gets a brief mention.
I’ve mentioned Olde English before and I really like their sketches. One of their best is called “Gym Class“. Watch it and then watch an unreleased Xbox 360 ad (2.9MB WMV). Similar? Very. Dissappointing.
