The talk about The Pirates of Silicon Valley inspired quite a few readers (as well as loony) to bring up the Triumph of the Nerds The Transcripts which provide the words from a PBS documentary on the same subject (the early days of PC development) that offered a more realistic portrayal of those events. The transcripts can provide an interesting insight into which portions of the TNT movie were rooted in reality, which parts were exaggerations or adaptations of actual events, as well as more about the other characters involved. BTW, PC Magazine's Pirates of Silicon Valley write-up is by John C. Dvorak (thanks Brett) with some interesting theories about the motivation behind this movie.

Holy cow! Bawls Bottle Road Trip is a tour of the world's largest Bawls bottle, at 22 feet long (of course, a 12 oz. bottle would also qualify as world's biggest, since the normal 10 oz Bawls bottles look like they should be served on airlines). Thanks Jeff. Next stop is right here in the Big Apple! Whee!
