		<title>40 years (or so) of Electronic Pings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been 40 years since Pong was unleashed on an unsuspecting world, and PongMuseum.org is there to celebrate. Check out their collection for some oddities like East-German TvSpiel, the chunky West-German Tele-Multiplay - 825-301, or the GD 1380 that came with a gorgeous blue light-gun from the late, lamented HeathKit, or celebrate the do-it-yourself ethic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[z80.info is the home of all-things Z80-related.
You know, the Zilog chip behind the CP/M machines, GameBoy, and others. Ah, the mid 1970s, when so many things were possible! Nowadays, all we have to look forward to is the degradation of Moore&#8217;s law and multi-cores progressing towards the singularity. Nobody cares about undocumented opcodes anymore&#8230;.

		<title>Even the Amish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A 1999 Wired article by Howard Rheingold on the un-cliched use of technology by the Amish:
Amish settlements have become a cliché for refusing technology. Tens of thousands of people wear identical, plain, homemade clothing, cultivate their rich fields with horse-drawn machinery, and live in houses lacking that basic modern spirit called electricity. But the Amish [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gopher Brains</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the library of nearly-dead-protocols, we come across the dimly remembered tome of Gopher. Developed at the University of Minneasota in the early 1990s, &#8220;Gopher was at its height of popularity during a time when there were still many equally competing computer architectures and operating systems.
