Blogger Andy Baio raises numerous technological, cultural, and ethical questions. First, take a look at how I introduce the subject on my blog, then post your agenda item responding to Baio's entry:

From an anonymous source close to the company, I've found myself in possession of the "Infocom Drive" -- a complete backup of Infocom's shared network drive from 1989. This is one of the most amazing archives I've ever seen, a treasure chest documenting the rise and fall of the legendary interactive fiction game company. Among the assets included: design documents, email archives, employee phone numbers, sales figures, internal meeting notes, corporate newsletters, and the source code and game files for every released and unreleased game Infocom made.

For obvious reasons, I can't share the whole Infocom Drive. But I have to share some of the best parts. It's just too good.

Please write two agenda items.

Update, Apr 19: On his Mechanisms blog, Kirschenbaum issued an invitation to SHU students who have questions for him. I invite you to take him up on his offer, and post your agenda items on his book blog (if you wish).

Please write two agenda items.
