I remember spending most of my 17th-birthday money on B&BH stuff (like the Burger World employee shirt, etc).
My 40-year-old mother, after getting over the intital "WTF is this?" *loved* B&BH.
My wife (she's 31) does too - we recently found what we needed to complete an "every episode" collection in various formats. I've also bought the Time-Life DVD sets, and will be buying these new ones.
Awesome. A guy at a local art-and-framing gallery had told me about this, but I hadn't made my way down there yet to see it in person. Now I don't have to go!
(I've lived in Houston for six months but not traveled outside of the Westheimer/Gessner/BW8 area much..)
"Murmurs of Earth", originally published in 1978, was reissued in 1992 by Warner News Media and includes a CD-ROM that replicates the Voyager record. Unfortunately, this book is now out of print, but it is worth the effort to try and find a used copy or browse through a library copy.
I got a copy off Amazon a couple weeks ago, for less than ten bucks total. Great read - and nutty industries, I need copies of those CDs! My book didnt come with them even though it was the '92 edition.
Friend of mine used to be the senior UNIX systems administrator for Hotmail, before and during their transition to run everything on Windows (a large portion of its infrastructure used to be Solaris and FreeBSD).

In "The hunt for #928."
This has always been one of my favorite A12/SR71 stories. My matte black Thinkpad a couple years ago was named "habu"...

In "The Golden Record"
Thanks to nutty industries, I've put the (audio) contents of the CDs that came with the book online. You can find them here (Coral Cached link).

Oh, and it looks like this guy likes to complain about things a lot.

In ""Should Hillary Clinton Run for Presidents?""
I love fucking pancakes. I've heard of messy kinks, but this takes the cake, so to speak.
