Pandora’s BoxPosted by Brian Fox Dougherty in Analysis, Culture, History, Technology, VideoAdam Smith’s 1992 miniseries on how the Soviets attempted to engineer the perfect society, instead building a centrally controlled Hell. (more at IMDB) Part 2 Also recommended is Adam’s The Power of Nightmares, one of my all-time favorite documentaries. Living dangerously in Greece. A rather awesome documentary covering the rich history of the Moors’ occupation in Europe. BBC documentary on the life of Jean-Paul Sartre.

Crashing NetscapePosted by Brian Fox Dougherty in History, Programming, Technology, VideoOn the eve of the Firefox 3 release it’s only appropriate to view the kick-ass documentary Code Rush, which follows the burnout pace of a Silicon Valley superstar company on the verge of bankruptcy… and the beginnings of the open source Firefox codebase. Not available anywhere else, so see it now! 150 years after Charles Darwin predicted the existence of a moth with an insanely long tongue, footage is captured proving him correct. The Rotten Library has a great article covering the more unsavory aspects of Chess… it’s pretty darn funny so go check it out. (Link may be NSFW)
