I HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM THIS IMITATION BLOG FOR SO LONG, I feel like I am part of a one-year-later storyline.
I SHALL RETURN TOMORROW with links to things of interest, including the upcoming SF SKETCHFEST.
AND FOR NOW, you will just have to live with the mystery of why I suddenly have a peg leg and am president of the colonies.
That is all.
1969, DALLAS, TX: The first ATM machine is installed. Standing for “AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE MACHINE,” the first ATM could receive deposits and dispense cash (though only in coins) and was roughly the size of a city block. Despite its name, it was not wholly automated: A single human controller was required to supervise and make manual notations in the customer’s bankbook. He would sit in a little dome atop the machine. However, this bank employee was instructed to wear a tinfoil suit and talk like a machine so as not to ruin the futuristic effect.

Peg leg and PotC? You’re like an average of Dr. Baltar AND Gaeta. I hope a cult of your own and mournful ballads were involved.

But do you have a hook for a hand?

It’s been a rough week, Mr. Hodgman. Within the span of just one week, we lost “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,” “Ugly Betty,” and “The Baldur and Loki Musical Variety Hour, Sponsored by Kraft.”
Thank the good lord that you’ve returned to us. We needed you.

That is all right, sir. No harm is done as I have been away, also, readying an experiment in the new industry of online publishing by preparing an old and beloved comedy screenplay of mine, title of “Whackers,” for presentation at Smashwords sometime in the next week or so.
More later . . .
