I like the look of the brightly colored tables in this 1997 version of my website. https://octodon.social/media/2IKABqv8uuDyjl5whiE

@ajr Voyager CDROM catalog. Some titles are Macintosh-only (seemingly earlier, HyperCard based ones before they moved to a multi-OS authoring system, perhaps.) This page about a Voyager CDR that also ran on Windows still mentions HyperCard when it runs on a Mac. http://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/Voyager.html

@ajr Back cover of Poetry In Motion II published by Voyager. Note System Requirements - it ran on Windows too, so maybe this one is not HyperCard based. Video resolution was fairly low - this is a CDROM, not a DVD-ROM!

Just now re-reading #DigOurHeroesOutOfTheTrash I found a thread to pull on and I found out about the Treffen in #TUNIX in #Berlin in #1978, a meeting of German leftists that led to a lot of other organizing afterwards such as the #Green Party.

Dale Shaw, who was the frontman of Blood Sausage (contemporaries of UK #riotgrrrl band Huggy Bear) has become a humour writer (his books include celebrity correspondence parody Letters of Not.)

Lorenzo Milam is an amazing guy now in his 80s. He started a bunch of low-power non-commercial #radio stations in the 1960s with funny names like KPOO, KRAB & KBOO, and wrote a book on how to start radio stations called Sex and Broadcasting. He caught polio at 19 and has written about #disability in the books Cripple Liberation Front Marching Band Blues and Crip Zen. He's lived in Mexico and San Diego. His website is http://www.ralphmag.org/
