News?		News doesn't happen very often... At least not like this! (This news is from 3/24/2000 -- didn't I already mention that news like this doesn't happen very often?)

More News		A few photographs from a trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.

Boogie-Woogie		A computer program makes up a piece of music just for you!

Fun_People Archive		The Fun_People mailing list/cyberzine -- "It's ... er, interesting..." And it's on sabbatical right now, but the archives are open...

Peter Langston's Papers		Some about music, some about games, some about telephones, some...

The Metropolitan Opry		A fixture in New York City between 1977 and 1989.

Entropy Service		An innovative acoustic music quartet that played its way from Olympia, Washington in 1973 to Cambridge, Mass in 1975.

Empire		I'm justifiably proud of this little program (started in 1972)... The game is popular (and addictive) enough that there has almost always been a domain devoted to it. The current home of Empire seems to be wolfpackempire.com, and you can find the Jargon File entry here and here (and quite a few other places) as well as this slightly amplified "Hacker Slang" definition here.

Oracle		This one's only been around since 1975, but it's a winner, too!

Lucasfilm Games		It's now called LucasArts, but it was Lucasfilm Games back when I started it (1982).

Eedie & Eddie On The Wire		This tribute to Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood comes from 1986.

Usenix Computer GO Tournament		We started the first American computer GO tournaments (at Usenix conferences). I even won one year! Oog!

Honking Duck		Listen to old-Time Music from 78s

Oy!
