Ooo! Old skool!
Finally a truly interesting blog from the biggest publishing conglomerate in Finland: retromania, a cornucopia of yesterday’s technology.
Topics thus far have concentrated on retro computing. Not that there’s anything wrong with that (apart from the fact that frodo seems to be buggy on my 6680).
However, the more interesting bits are about technology that’s not emulated. A new favorite time-waster is toosa, which lists the tv shows on finnish tv from yesteryear. Lots of great discoveries, but it seems to be missing a couple of key shows, like Professor Drövel’s Hemlighet (masterful norwegian nonsense). And whoever is able to provide a link to the origin of the series Villiin Länteen that was shown in 1979 in Finland. My recollections are vague to the extreme (recall a character named Luke who almost got lynched for stealing a horse, but not much else), so further pointers would indeed be appreciated.
Oh yeah, the science blog is pretty decent as well.
