Folklore

I've been really enjoying (addictively) the recently launched folklore.org website - a history of Apple in oral tradition, as told by the participants. The site is particularly nice because - given the sources - one gets a deep sense of some of the excitement, frustration, and inspiration that went into the early development of the Macintosh back in the day. For a reader of my generation, who can still clearly remember seeing the first Macs to come to Bloomington IN (and the first Lisas in Indiana, though they were in Indianapolis...), it's particularly evocative of a time and place in technology history.

As of this writing, it's still fairly heavily slashdot-effected, but worth a browse.

If you read no other items there (unlikely once you start!), do try at least Creative Think for some thinking tools, and Gobble, Gobble, Gobble for an unfortunate (but clearly memorable) Jobsian Job Interview.
