YouTube - Walt Disney's Original Plan for EPCOT - Part 2
Walt Disney’s original vision for his Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow (EPCOT) is astounding.

Unfortunately, what was later opened as “EPCOT Center” is only a terribly faint echo of the original vision.

Alex Payne — Mending The Bitter Absence of Reasoned Technical Discussion
The author describes his experience of the reactions of "the tech press" and the "blogosphere" to an interview he gave two years ago ("Ruby is slow") and a recent talk ("a business case for Scala").

In both instances he found that "the media" took what he expected would be received as mostly factual and informative information and recast it as scandalous.

He gives eight tips to consider before "clicking Post" to try to keep technical discussions from blooming into flame wars.

Lots of discography information. Picked up a few pieces of cover art on which iTunes was giving no/bogus results. Lacked info on some local, small run and some promo disc that I have though.
