And of course, The Simpsons also predicted it almost a decade prior.

The Youtube Algorithm delivered something fun today
A presentation of C64 Microtext, an obscure alternative to BASIC. As a 1991 baby the C64 was a bit before my time unfortunately. It must have been so cool to be one of the people blessed to be raised in a home with a computer like this at the time. The stories of people learning BASIC on these as 14 year olds just sound so cool to me.
Our first family computer was a windows 95 PC when I was around 6 years old. My personal little reenactment of that C64 fantasy was learning HTML and CSS to make a bunch of fansites and websites for my roleplaying characters as well as programming desktop applications with Delphi and Pascal. I remember how proud I was when my friend and I finished our HP-calculator for Diablo II. (It even had a toggle for whether a Barbarian had the Battle Orders buff activated and at which level!)
I haven’t used Twine yet but it looks to me like Microtext is like Twine’s lost great grandfather from the UK.

The back of the north american version of Rengoku II on PSP says “cartridge” instead of disc, despite having been made exclusively for the PSP.

I’ve been looking up data visualizations for class. NASA has an excellent interactive with asteroids, Eyes on Asteroids - NASA/JPL.

One thing that I like about the Aurora is that it is a very pretty natural phenomenon that does not rely on airborne pollution to scatter the light. Some of the most interesting and cool sunsets I have seen have been in very polluted environments.
Another thing that I like about Aurora is that is a quantum interaction. Now I’m thinking about it harder, I guess lots of visible phenomena are quantum interactions because they kick off photons when the electron drops down to a lower orbital, but it’s fun for me to think about.
