In the early 90s, I would print out usenet posts so I could read them on the commuter train. Seemed a good idea at the time and I probably read them with more attention than my current online practices.

There are more sites related to LLVM IR than I need to see but overall, this is a fresh browsing experience. Reminds me of reading random pages back in 1994.

I bought many a book and saw various authors at Printers Inc., although apparently more than 25 years ago.

Had some meaningful conversations at the Cafe (which I assume finally closed as well). I never liked the Starbucks across the street.

Didn't realize the Rogers Park, Chicago Target had a restroom. Good to know, as an old guy.

Depends. Back in the day, I worked on development tools for a commericial avionics flight management computer. The headcount for embedded hardware/software verification was greater than for development.

And the recordist, Frank Tiberi, is a jazz saxophonist and has played with the Woody Herman big band (with whom I saw in the 70s). Also teaches at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Alvin Lucier wrote other highly interesting, if unconventional works, although similar to John Cage's 4'33", this is the one that achieved meme status as conceptual art.

Is this an EU or Spain issue? I regularly attend at a theatre in Chicago that has socially "sensitive" plays. I often see their ads on Facebook.
