Another detour from the creation of our virtual computer:
On waxy.com, Andy Baio has uploaded the series The Machine That Changed the World. This 5 part miniseries from 1992 feels dated for obvious reasons but the history is as relevant as ever. The making of this documentary was particularly well timed -- there are interviews with several computer pioneers -- many of whom passed away within a few years of its filming.
It was digitized from VHS so the image quality leaves something to be desired. However, this is the first time this classic series has been digitized at all and Waxy.com was kind enough to put it online so we can all enjoy it. You can stream the videos online as flash or download the high-quality MP4 files via BitTorrent.
Much thanks to Waxy.com for making this gem accessible to all!
