Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Computer Networks: The Heralds of Resource Sharing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you're into the history of geekdom this video is for you. Computer Networks: The Heralds of Resource Sharing is a 30 minute documentary from 1972 about the beginnings of the ARPANET now on Google Video. This is the origin of the Internet, from back when it had about 30 computers connected. There's a Wikipedia page with a list of people appearing in the film. Good stuff.
