I’m sure this will end up having a practical use or two, but just reading about it is giving me the fuckin’ heebie-jeebies. The ability to shake the hand of a person half way around the world? Haaaaard no. If the thing I’m supposed to be touching isn’t an honest to god tangible thing, I …
This is something else. A complete radio broadcast of the September 20th, 1934 game between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers. This is the oldest full radio broadcast of a regular season baseball game known to exist (the 1934 All-Star Game is the only surviving full game broadcast that is older than this). …

I could hardly believe it when it hit me, but today this place turns 18 years old. Seriously, what the hell? Where did all that time go? I’ll spare you all the stuff about how much the world has changed since we started. We’ve done that before and I’m sure we’ll do it again. I’ll …
