Spitfire
BCS: Official Website of Buffalo Creek Software1: Going through some old crap in my Den, I came across this manual I had printed out for Spitfire: Bulletin Board System for MS/PC DOS Personal Computers. I set up and ran what was probably an incredibly unpopular BBS for a little while (probably only a few months, stupidly hosting a few pirated programs in the hopes of luring people to call, and just generally not knowing what the hell I was doing. I just remember really wanting to run one, as I’d had so much fun visiting other people’s BBSes for quite a while… But, hey! What was this ‘internet’ thing? Hmmm… have to check that out.

Bombay Sapphire
Bombay Sapphire is apparently the gin for graphic designers. I wonder which brand is the absinthe for graphic designers?

Sleepy Hollow
Based on the the short story by Washington Irving, this Tim Burton film makes Ichabod Crane into a bumbling detective from New York, sent to investigate the murders of the the Headless Horseman. Depp’s skittish charm in this role brings a lot of humor to what is otherwise a very dark film, occasionally brightened by the appearance of Christina Ricci as the young, blonde and remarkably-grown-up-since-Addams-Family love interest, as well as the cameo appearance of Christopher Walken as the Pre-and-Post-Headless Horeseman. An enjoyable romp— recommended.
