So, a little over five years ago I wrote (what I thought was) <a href="http://dorkstuff.blogspot.com/2010/07/hipster-slurp-craves-imported-beer.html">a throwaway blog post</a> on this oddball stuffed animal from the 1960s called "Slurp" that I found at a thrift store. It was pretty difficult to find anything, but some Googling showed that it was produced by a company called Spectacular Products. Spectacular Products folded at some point and became Princess Soft Toys, a more traditional stuffed animal manufacturer that was a frequent staple of hospital and tourist trap gift shops. Since the writing of the original blog post, Princess Soft also dissolved in a <a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/profiles/company/us/mn/minneapolis/princess_soft_toys_inc/2586780">complete mess of financial shenanigans</a>. But that's neither here nor there.<br />

Apparently that blog post has been <a href="http://megomuseum.com/community/archive/index.php/t-54206.html">finding it's way around</a> various internet collectible fora, being the only post laying out any sort of history for the thing. Not sure if it was through that forum or just Google or what, but a particularly resourceful collector of these toys tracked me down from that blog post, contacting me through my Google+ profile attached to this site. We did some haggling, and unfortunately couldn't reach a price we were both comfortable with for me to part with my Slurp (yes I still have the weird little thing). In the meantime, however, I managed to goad some background information about them.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"These were made by an old company in my home town. Cannon Falls
Minnesota. The company name was Spectacular Products. That's my reason
for the interest. Some people collect them because they were made in the
60's - hippie era. <br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />Some of the
local high school kids who had a small band in the 60's, probably
influenced by beatnik music, like Dylan and the Beatles were, worked at
this company making the Slurps. I'll see if I can dig up an old photo of
the band. They played at local fairs, and eventually went off to Viet
Nam. One was killed. <br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />I was born in
1960 and had a slurp as a kid. Have no idea what I ever did with it.
Some of my friends still have their original Slurps. I have about six. I
know there's a guy in my hometown, a year older than me, who very
seriously collects them. I've heard stories."</i></blockquote>
Unfortunately, I never got to hear any further about these "stories", but the potential buyer did tip me off with this <a href="https://youtu.be/FurtIDlF-uE">Youtube video of the band</a> discussed in the anecdote. They were called The Shades, and get a load of their wicked station wagon. <br />

Apparently members of this band worked in the factory hand-stitching these toys. It's entirely possible that one of them hand-stiched the one I still own, the company was just starting and most accounts say there were between 8-10 employees when they rolled out this toy as their first product. </div>

It's a retro-style game: part Arkanoid, part Dr.Mario, where the Hazmat-suited player attempts to quarantine and eliminate virus outbreaks. It's also available for Android <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devfluid.VirusJigglinFever&hl=en">on the Google Play Store</a>.

Going through the pile of 3.25 floppies I have lying around, I stumbled across this guy from 1994. Like the label says, the disk contains Issue 12 of <a href="http://www.programd.com/12_eac7c010938c3d90_1.htm">Harbinger Monthly</a>, which was an anime-dedicated <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_magazine">diskmag</a> that I had ordered when in high school.

It also included video game tricks, codes, and ratings for various anime-styled games as well as grainy screencaps of various cartoons.

In the summer of 2013, I completely relocated from Austin, Texas to Portland, Oregon. In the process I gave away and/or sold the majority of my possessions. Amongst said possessions was my retro game collection I'd been acquiring/holding onto since the mid-1990s. According to the timestamp on the phone pics; I took in the games on August 16, 2013. And the above is only part of it. Sorting through it all required all of the available counter-space at the North Austin <a href="http://www.gameovervideogames.com/">Game Over videogames</a> location.<br />

It included sytems, games, and accessories for SNES, Genesis, Turbografx-16, Atari 2600 (with 150+ games), Sega Master System, Gameboy, and TI-99/4A (with games, controllers, and text-to-speech synthesizer). I'd already sold my NES with games and accessories directly to a friend earlier that month. It's really difficult to decide whether this or selling my record collection hurt worse. But hey, a fresh start, and emulators are getting fancier all the time.<br />

Over at the blog of Bob Nystrom (author of <a href="http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/">Game Programming Patterns</a>) he has <a href="http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2014/12/21/rooms-and-mazes/">an article</a> discussing the finer points of randomized dungeon generation. He covers stuff that has frustrated me before in roguelikes, namely the randomization placing objects or even the protagonist in rooms with no exits, effectively ending the game. He also covers balancing corridors (like, hallways and such) with rooms to create more dynamic dungeons. It also gets under the hood of randomized dungeon generation, comparing and contrasting various generators. The article includes several active examples that generate completely random dungeons every time you click to illustrate the points. Really cool stuff.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17222027327029449535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102590819227446049.post-12464850652055182472015-03-02T02:48:00.002-08:002015-03-02T02:50:49.536-08:00Magazine Article About Controlling A Model Train Set With A TRS-80<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In my recent jaunts to <a href="http://destroyedforcomfort.com/2014/07/28/portlands-goodwill-blue-hanger-is-mildly-terrifying/">Portland's outlet warehouse stores</a> I wound up with a stack of old model railroad magazines from the 1960s through the 1980s... because of course I did. Flipping through them, they are detail-intensive and super esoteric, which means they're perfect for this blog. Unfortunately, I cannot even try to care enough about model railroading to this degree. However, this article "Computerization Of The Great Southern" in the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Model-Railroader-Magazine-April-1983/dp/B00NCGMUBQ">March 1983 issue of Model Railroader </a>caught my eye because it intersected with 1980s retro-computing, which *is* something I give half a crap about.</div>

The article features Lorell Joiner (who <a href="http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/archive/index.php/t-76831.html">apparently died in 2007</a>) discussing the computerization of his Great Southern Railroad model. As you can see from the photo, the equipment involved is a TRS-80 computer. Apparently the Great Southern was kind of a legendary big deal in the model railroad world, and certainly looks like no joke:</div>

I particularly like this map; it reminds me a lot of video-game related sketches I used to make in my notebooks as a kid.

These fine gentlemen(?) are part of a group of protesters in Wisconsin called the <a href=http://www.sacredclown.org/>Sacred Clowns</a>. According to their website-<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Yep. Some of our clowns definitely take inspiration from Krampus –“the henchmen of Saint Nick” thing you find in the Austrian, German and Swiss Alps. We live in Wisconsin, a bastion of German heritage, and we see those clowns as something we lost– something we want back! But this is global. We love love love the Japanese Namahage and the Native American Heyokas too! We embrace them all.</blockquote><br />
I love protesters that are willing to harness the whimsical and symbolic to their message rather than being preachy or antagonistic. I'd love to start a group of these guys down here.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17222027327029449535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102590819227446049.post-34934862317282018602011-03-06T15:42:00.000-08:002015-03-03T18:08:41.293-08:00Robocop Archive - The Source For All Things Robocop.<a href=http://robocoparchive.com/><img src=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnSYkag0Tu3hwji5xE5XpNwvg3r-dWOvRtaMx8z5WckFN1oY0qiBHx8MqzCRiur6Gvj1DdqqMpStUQxXYxSEQ_8QZ42bp3iCqs1G8E2UKMGLTVPhRygyfzq4EO7dSTFIiOkz6uW_HN9UvZ/></a><br />

<a href=http://blog.fixyourmix.com/2009/how-do-i-sound-like-the-knife/><blockquote>Very rarely is a band’s unique sonic character defined by a single effect but honestly, all songwriting and execution aside, there isn’t much that is wholly distinctive about the group insofar as sounds are concerned. The beats aren’t revolutionary and could very well have come from any can of prefab loops. The synth sounds are fairly generic and not treated in any inventive new way. The album itself is fairly quiet by today’s standards, perhaps attributable to a Swedish mastering job.</blockquote></a><br />

<a href="http://www.datacorruption.org/projects/eat_shit/">EAT SH*T</a> is an interactive collaboration between Nullsleep and NO CARRIER. Running on an NES, the project starts by playing a controllable performance of Bach's Minuet In G. However, as the player exerts more control, the graphics and sound begin to disintegrate.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17222027327029449535noreply@blogger.com0
