Howdy Fellow Time-Travellers!
This week’s Planet Nerd comes to you from the future. But not our future – the future of the past! A time when we would have had flying cars, glittering roads surrounded by hovering purposeless silver spheres, and kitchens that cook food for you – were it not for reality and greed getting in the way.
So, put on your jet-pack and hover to the video for the following moon-dwelling gems:
- Simon Barber reviews the original Might and Magic
- Wayne Dixon shows us the origins of Linux
- Ben McKenzie illustrates the flaws of Wikipedia – and the solution: Wikia!
- Dan Walmsley explores the Prelinger Archives and digs up some kitsch futuristic treasures
In this uncertain age, more than ever, we need Planet Nerd to bring back the blinkered post-war optimism that makes old people so nostalgic.
Signing Off,
Captain Dan
