I just tried out LCARS Mail. First of all, it doesn’t even use the right font. Secondly, it’s not a very good email program. The LCARS interface may look great on a television or movie screen, but I’d have a hard time arguing that it could be used for anything that mattered in the real…
Two big birthdays coming up: Tuesday, July 15th, the NES turns 20 (yes 20) years old. Thursday, July 17th, Disneyland turns 48 years old.

The Johnson Smith company used to be THE place to go when you needed whoopie cushions, fart spray, trick gum, and all that good stuff. In recent years they’ve slowly gotten rid of anything worth buying and have since become just another Lilian Vernon clone. It’s sad. Luckily, another company has risen to fill the…
