On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,
"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

A lovely Neolithic knife - with its wooden handle - from a site with houses built on stilts on marshy land in Germany. Usually, the wooden part rots away and we just have the blade. This makes so much more sense!

Do not miss this if you’re into PC sound cards — or computer history in general! The stories behind such things are always more interesting than you might imagine.
Jim did an incredible job with this, just a wonderful documentary and inspiring work all-around.

After months of work, I'm happy to release my documentary featurette on a very rare DOS sound card (how's that for niche?): youtu.be/Eeo4INoGyRY
If you have any friends who are into DOS sound cards, the Apple II, music on personal computers in the 1980s, forward this to them; they might like it.
