I'm sure that's not the only reason Matt Mullenweg will be in Utah, but he was kind enough to extend his stay to meet with the locals, at a great Indian food place called Taj India. If you're going to be in Salt Lake City on February 2nd, you should join us.

Interviewing Orson Scott Card At LTUE
I have been given the unique opportunity to be part of an interview with Orson Scott Card at Life, the Universe & Everything convention on the campus of Brigham young University. I'm a huge fan or Orson and I really want to thank Jeff Norris from I-SCI-FI TV for letting me assist.
I-SCI-FI TV is a great Science Fiction podcast produced live on Thursday nights, 7PM MST, at iscifi.tv.

January Codeaway Rocked, Literally
Thanks to Laura Moncur and Matthew Reinbold, and host location Wasatch Wingz, for putting on a killer Codeaway. There were nearly 20 people in attendance. Rock band was playing the entire time. The wings were incredible and there was plenty of shop talk.
If you didn't come you really missed out. Look for the next Codeaway announcement at codeaway.org.

Did You Own A VIC-20?
That's right, did you own a VIC-20 in 1981? Did you own a Commodore 64 in 1982? How about an Amiga? What other brands did you own in 1981 or 1982? I owned a VIC-20, a Commodore 64, an Amiga and a TI, and I want to know if you did too.
Here's the deal, I'm writing a book that includes stories about emerging technologies from the early 1980's. What I'm looking for are your personal stories. Who bought you your first VIC? Tell me about some of the programs you wrote. What did you and your friends do with computers? What peripherals did you have? How did owning that VIC or the Amiga influenced your current love, or hate, of technology?
There are several ways I would appreciate your responses:
1. Send me an email, vic [@] thomallen.com, with your story, any length, and permission to use any or all of the content.
2. Write a blog post and comment here with a link. If you would like any or all of the post included in the book, please send me an email indicating so, with a link to the post.
Be sure to include your name, email address and web site URL, for proper acknowledgment in the book.
I really appreciate all your help.
