Site Seeing
Some interesting sites:
Retro Arcade: A Photoset
According to the uploader these were slides rescued from the dumpster. Extremely hardcore.
Banophernalia
This is the first site I've found with reviews of some forgotten sci-fi novels. If I did a book review site I'd probably do it the same: capsule reviews of the old and new. If anyone has a copy of The Power of X (70's sci-fi plus political intrigue) hook a reader up. I haven't gone into his music reviews, however, because I'm a music snob.
Fading Ad Campaign
A photo collection of old New York building-side ads. On a similar tip, check out Forgotten NY.

Why do I hate this sci-fi blog? Is it the catch-all nature, the mocking attitude or the corporate ownership? I'm not sure but I don't think I'll be returning often. That being said, Buck Rogers "getting down" and sharing the gift of Rock 'n' Roll are even better than Wrong Turn Journal led me to believe.

I have fond memories of hanging out at The Space Port which was the name of the local arcade. My mom said it looked like an opium den. There was also Rack 'n Cue, a nearby pool hall that expanded into arcade games, back in the day. Very wholesome.
I still say there is nothing in the world like the ambient sound of an 80's era arcade. And I'm not the only one: http://arcade.hofle.com/
I'm glad you made it safely back from the Wastelands, Pete.

That ambient arcade stuff is excellent. Maybe I'll play it in the background at the next LAN party. If it's ok with The Kid From Brooklyn.
