Cool Photos of Vintage TV Sets

Nostalgia at its best: take a look at this amazingly cool set of vintage TV photos. You can even see TVs from 1929.

Good thing the TV set was developed into something prettier and sexier over the years, though. I wouldn't want to watch Lord of the Rings on something like this:

How the HECK did I miss THIS: Vintage Computer Festival

Man, oh man. I swim around the net ALL FUCKING DAY, and I had no clue that there's a thing called "Vintage Computer Festival", that's held every year.

How did I miss out on something as cool as that? After all, I hold the firm opinion that Apple ][e is the best PC ever made! I was born BEFORE the Commodore 64, for crying out loud. I am a child of the 80s! I grew up on EGA graphics and computer without Hard Drives. Sheesh.

Well, anyway, Wired has a gallery portraying the festival, that was held in Mountain View, California, USA. Too bad most of the pics are in some weird, twisted, fish-eye form.

It was the 10th annual festival, and turns out there is a European version of it in April. So, if all goes well - I am GOING! It's about time I start showing my face in geeky cons and fests. I might even dare a glance at something really extravagant, like DragonCon or FedCon, heaven forbid!

And next time, will someone please inform me about such important events?! Please? Isn't there a web 2.0 site dedicated to geeky events or something?
