I gave a talk on #Elite at hack::soho last year, and the video’s now available. It's a whirlwind tour of 3 fascinating aspects of Elite: procedural generation, 3D maths & the split screen.

In my hands is my first iPod. Steve Jobs is smiling at me. Everybody at the Apple Store is smiling.
I take off my Apple Vision. I am back in the retirement home. Nobody has visited me for 12 years. I put it back on.
I hold my iPod. Everybody in the Apple Store is smiling.
