LGR reviews a TRS-80.
I only knew of the TRS-80 through Linkara's reviews of the Tandy Computer Whiz Kids comics. However, it was nice to see that a TRS-80 next to a TI 99/4A and an Apple IIe. I still miss this era of computing. What do we call this era, the BASIC program-it-yourself/program cartridge era?

Happy Towel Day!
I thought I had already exhausted the relevant links in previous years, but I found a new one. EDIT: I guess not. Here's a roundup of Towel Day events that are occurring around the world today, and a video from an astronaut explaining how useful towels are during space missions.

Richard Sherman died last Saturday. He was one of the last survivors of the golden age of Disney.
Trailer for the Sherman Brothers documentary. I really have to get around to watching it one of these days. The Sherman Brothers didn't just do Disney movies, they did the songs for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Charlotte's Web, the theme parks, the anthology series (The Wonderful World of Disney today), on and on. They wrote the screenplay for The Slipper and the Rose, one of the best Cinderella adapatations out there. The Sherman Brothers Songbook. I own this CD set, but you can listen to it on YouTube. I would advise skipping the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang songs, however. As CCBB isn't a Disney movie they had cover artists do the songs for this Disney CD. The last track features them singing with Walt Disney himself! Another YouTube playlist. This one has some of the more obscure songs that they did. Richard returns to Walt's office to play "Feed the Birds" for inclusion in "Once Upon a Studio." I hadn't noticed it, but it does play in the background for a few seconds while Mickey takes a moment of silence with Walt's painting.
