National Archive movies available on Google Video

Via Ars Technica is the announcement that many films from the National Archives will be made available via Google Video.  Their pilot program had 104 videos, consisting of many newreel clips from WWII, documentaries about the formation of the national parks service, and documentaries from Nasa including the 1969 documentary The Eagle Has Landed, documenting the landing of Apollo 11 on the moon.   Good stuff.

I’ll be at the San Mateo Maker’s Faire in April

It looks like I’ll be attending the Maker’s Faire in San Mateo coming up on April 22nd and 23rd. My proposal to show my Atari 2600 Enigma Machine was accepted, so I guess I get to setup a little table display and yack at people about writing programs for the old Atari 2600. If I get all my prep done, I’ll be demonstrating how you can assemble code using P65, the perl assembler, run it with the Stella emulator, and then burn it onto an EEPROM for execution in the real machine.

More details as it gets closer, but if you read my blog and are in the neighborhood, I’d be thrilled if you stopped in to say hi.

Addendum:   Bonus link to an Atari 2600 inspired music video.  Found it with Technorati.   Rockin’!
