Retro computers on film; GDC Online starts today

Two things you might want to check out from today’s Austin American-Statesman. The first is this week’s Digital Savant column, which actually expanded into a Life & Arts centerpiece. The story is about an upcoming Austin-shot film called “Computer Chess,” which used vintage early-’80s-era computers from local hobbyists and from the great Austin Goodwill Computer Works Museum.
If you’ve never been to the Museum, now would be a great time to check it out. If you want to remember Steve Jobs, there’s even an exhibit of old Apple systems on display.

Also in today’s paper is a Tech Monday column I wrote about the Game Developers Conference Online, which starts today and runs through Thursday. I’ll be posting a few blog entries from the event over the next few days.
