In case anyone missed it -- the History Channel tonight aired "How William Shattner Changed the World" which includes a 15-minute segment featuring Bruce Damer / DigiBarn. He's on 45 minutes into the first hour of the two-hour show. It's on again tonight at midnight EST. More details from Bruce's announcement: Dear DigiBarn News subscribers, Here is your brief Winter 2006 newsletter (#16). 2005 was a wonderful year, finishing off with our Homebrew Computer Club 30th birthday event at the Vintage Computer Festival in November. We now have some cool audio, video and pictures of the event below (including Woz telling some great stories, and Altair expert Erik Klein playing "fool on the hill" on an original 8800). Read all about this wonderful and inspiring event at: http://www.digibarn.com/history/05-VCF8-HomeBrew30/index.html (for movies, audio, pics, Altair, Woz and more!) ############## Breaking News: HOW WILLIAM SHATNER CHANGED THE WORLD (the DigiBarn is featured on this show!) Sunday March 12th (5 and 8pm) and again all week including Friday March 17th (8/7 central US time) and Saturday. Check Local Listings for your region/country or the schedule at: http://www.historychannel.com/ Starting tomorrow the DigiBarn and curator (yours truly) Bruce Damer will appear on the History Channel on a cool segment (in the first hour) of a show called "How William Shatner Changed the World". This is a 2 hour special on how Star Trek (well, Gene Roddenberry and his writers) came up with many gadgets and ways of working back in the 1960s which have become reality today. This show is Captain Kirk at his best, with Bill Shatner in an off-the-wall performance you won't forget.
